ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

Lilia is a Latinate flower name derived from lilia, the plural of Latin lilium ("lily"), and functions both as a Latinized form of the English name Lily and as an alternate transcription of the Russian and Ukrainian name Лилия/Лілія (Liliya). It has documented literary use as a character name in Alfred Tennyson's 1853 poem The Princess, and is used as a given name across Spanish, Italian, Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian. No dictionary-sourced pronunciation was located during research, so primaryPronunciation is left unknown rather than guessed. A separate Hawaiian-language etymology (from 'Lily'/'Lydia') exists for the same spelling but was not treated as applicable to this project's English/European-usage profile.

  1. lilia (Latin, plural of lilium). "Lily," from Latin lilia, the plural of lilium ("lily"); also used as a Latinate form of the English name Lily, and as an alternate Latin transcription of Russian Лилия / Ukrainian Лілія.
