Hundreds of mentions of the illuminati even in our own government circles, a group can call themselves whatever silly name they like.
It doesn't have to mean anything, but it's probably just a term from the skull and bones society which many of our leaders are members, or bohemian grove where most are members, or common links between the two and more societies and fraternities, even if illuminati is just a code word for the haves vs the have nots.
if you search google for illuminati you get over 17 million hits. That should suggest there may be something to it.
if you look up "illuminati killed" on youtube, you'll get a decent list, and many of those people spoke directly and very very clearly about them before being killed. Coincidence?
Michael Jackson, Tupac, Elizabeth Tailor, MLK, JFK, Kurt Kobain, reporters, hell even John Lennon supposedly and the list goes on and on and on. Even if the only ones you believe are the ones you can watch videos from with their own words on the subject. I don't even know where to begin posting. Search any one you like on youtube and see what they say in their own words. Tupac was very clear about it, MJ was also very clear.
Whoever you want to listen to, whoever on the recent list of dead people you trust look them up.

They could call themselves "the happy lucky smiley fraternal group of rich guys who want to stay rich and get richer and avoid prosecution", it would't matter.
It's groups of people who want to get ahead and stay ahead and have silly handshakes and pat eachother on the back and put people that will further their interests into positions of wealth and power. These are the basic tennants of a fraternity on any scale. If you are a city leader let say, and you have a contract to award, it's not unusual that contract might go to a buddy or better yet someone from your old college fraternity or friend of a friend etc which would appear you have no real ties to. If all the people you know do the same for you and all your fellow old college buddies then you will all do quite well. Even if you are a complete idiot like say GWB you can win even a presidency that way via friends and friends of friends etc etc on down the line.
Traditionally it's called the good old boys club. The definition/translation of illuminati is "enlightened ones". Since it used to be only them who knew how they all worked together and scratched eachothers backs up until recently, when so many people began to speak out and get killed, I'd say the name fits. A sectret can only remain a secret for so long, and the cats out of the bag, the evidence is absolutely overwhelming if you look into it at all so the race is on... The internet and youtube specifically had to be a real source of concern for people like that, where all the evidence is stacked up in the same place and at the fingertips of every citizen on the planet.
JFK was always a man you could trust and no fool, and he warned us how many years ago yet look where we are today because nobody listened and took it seriously. It's so hard to believe and so vast people can barely wrap their minds around it even after they know it to be true.
