Eelam means the entire Island but Sri Lanka means the Sinhala majority areas only.

Tamil Eelam - the Tamil's Eelam (North East)

Sri Lanka = Sinhala Eelam

I think eelam means Sri Lanka in Tamil.


No, we don't use the word Sri Lanka in Tamil conversation, we say ILANKAI.

The Tamil word for Sri Lanka is ILANKAI. It is the Tamilicised form of the word Lanka. In Tamil language there has been no tradition for 'LA' to be the initial sound in a word. Thus, the vowel sound E comes first and the word is pronounced as Illankai.
This term it is quite old. Cilapathikaram, the Tamil epic that deals with the history of the Kannaki, the Pattini venerated in the Sinhala Buddhist tradition, narrates how Gajabahu brought the Pattini cult to Sri Lanka.
The famous line in Cilapathikaram runs as follows 'Kadal chool illankai kayavahu venthan' and the word illankai is used here to refer to Sri Lanka. Cilapathikaram today is generally taken as a work belonging to the 5th century A.D. Thus the term illankai, too, has been invoked to refer to the island.
