 Illyricum
    a country to the north-west of Macedonia, on the eastern shores
    of the Adriatic, now almost wholly comprehended in Dalmatia, a
    name formerly given to the southern part of Illyricum (2 Tim.
    4:10). It was traversed by Paul in his third missionary journey
    (Rom. 15:19). It was the farthest district he had reached in
    preaching the gospel of Christ. This reference to Illyricum is
    in harmony with Acts 20:2, inasmuch as the apostle's journey
    over the parts of Macedonia would bring him to the borders of
    Illyricum.

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)

 Illyricum, joy; rejoicing
