The suburb was named after the ancestral home of the Hon. John Charles Watts-Russell (1825-1874), who hailed from Ilam Hall in Staffordshire, England. He settled in Canterbury in 1850 and named his property Ilam.

The major schools in Ilam are Ilam Primary School and Cobham Intermediate School both of which are highly respected schools in the area.
