Thanks Boro. But actually, in the movie, they spell it Irolas. Why? WHY?! They're so close! And it would've made as near to complete sense as the movie ever gets to make that dude Iorlas. Why change the spelling like they did with Madril/Mardil? Now, I'll admit that Madril sounds cooler than Mardil, but Iorlas is easier to pronounce than, and still sounds cooler than Irolas. OK, so you have to understand that initial I's directly followed by another vowel are pronounced like Y's, but that's the same rule as in other langauges, even some spoken today. *sigh*
