Origin & usage
Lilith is a genuinely mythological/folkloric name rather than an everyday given name with a simple etymology: it names a figure with a documented lineage running from Mesopotamian demon-lore (the lilû class of spirits, later conflated with the child-threatening demon Lamaštu) through the Hebrew Bible (a single disputed reference in Isaiah 34:14) to fully developed medieval Jewish folklore (the Alphabet of Ben Sira's account of Lilith as Adam's first wife). Its adoption as a modern given name and cultural symbol (e.g., Lilith Fair) draws specifically on the 'refused subservience' strand of that folklore as a feminist emblem.

Real-world considerations
- Distinctive — #277 in the latest U.S. ranking.
- Spelling note: Lilah.
- The precise literal meaning of Lilith is genuinely unsettled in scholarship: sources consulted this session present competing glosses ('of the night,' 'she-demon,' 'night bird') and note that several once-popular claimed Mesopotamian textual/artistic links are now considered disputed or disproven, rather than a single agreed etymology.
