Forum:Blue Rose of Illium/Bhelliom

In the Elenium and Tamuli trilogies by David and Leigh Eddings, a major object of interest is Bhelliom, a sapphire gem carved into the shape of a rose. When spoken to by Sparhawk (the main protagonist) he refers to it as Blue-Rose. Illium and Bhelliom sound rather similar. Could Blue Rose of Illium be a reference to Bhelliom?
