illeckn.

Forms: 1600s illeck, 1800s elleck, 1800s ellick, 1800s illck, 1800s illek, 1800s illick.
Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a borrowing from Cornish.
Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps < an unattested Cornish word denoting the red gurnard (compare quot. 1880), taken to be a derivative of a word for ʻeyebrowʼ (cognate with Old Welsh ail (Welsh ael), Old Breton ail (Breton ael)) + -ek, suffix forming adjectives, probably so called on account of the bone structure around a gurnard's eyes.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈilleck.
? Obsolete.
A name in Cornwall of a fish, the gemmous dragonet, Callionymus lyra.
