Meaning & origin

Lilianna is a floral name that has gained moderate popularity in the United States since the 1980s. It first appeared in Social Security records in 1980 and peaked in 2012, when it reached its highest rank. Since 2011, its usage has been on a gradual decline. Today, about 1 in 5358 newborn girls receives the name Lilianna, placing it at rank 890 for 2025. The name is most commonly found in New Mexico, Connecticut, and Colorado. As an elaboration of Lillian, it offers a more ornate alternative while retaining the classic appeal of the lily flower.

Lilianna is a modern elaboration of Lillian, which itself derives from the Latin word lilium, meaning lily. The name emerged in the English-speaking world in the 19th century as a floral name, often seen as a variant of Lily or Lillian. The spelling with double 'n' became particularly popular in the United States in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
