Meaning & origin

Liliann is a modern spelling variant of Lillian, part of the enduringly popular Lily family of names. First recorded in the United States in 1983, it saw its peak use in 2013. Since 2014, however, its usage has been falling, reflecting a broader shift away from elaborate spellings of traditional names. Despite its decline, Liliann remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking the familiar sound of Lily with a more individualized orthography.

Liliann is a modern spelling variant of Lilian, itself a form of Lily or Lillian. The name ultimately derives from the Latin 'lilium', meaning 'lily', a flower symbolizing purity and innocence. The variant spelling with double 'n' emerged in the late 20th century as part of a trend toward unique respellings, particularly in the United States. It has been in use since at least the 1980s.
