Meaning & origin
Liliana entered the U.S. Social Security data in 1950 and has been rising consistently since 1985. It reached its peak rank of 78 in 2025, with about 1 in 515 girls receiving the name. The name is most popular in Rhode Island, New Mexico, and Nevada. Its combination of the familiar Lily with the melodic -iana ending gives it wide appeal across Italian, Spanish, and English-speaking families. The name's long-standing use in Hispanic and Italian communities continues to fuel its steady growth.
Liliana is a Latinized elaboration of Lily, the flower name derived from Latin lilium, often considered a variant of the Roman name Lilia. It also blends with the Italian and Spanish form of Juliana, which derives from the Roman family name Julius, meaning 'youthful' or 'downy-bearded,' but the name is overwhelmingly associated with the lily flower symbolizing purity. Liliana has been used across Italian- and Spanish-speaking regions since the Renaissance and gained wider popularity in English-speaking countries in the 20th century.
