Meaning & origin

Lilibeth combines two well-loved names, Lily and Elizabeth, into a modern compound that has seen scattered but persistent use since it first appeared in records in 1970. The name reached its peak popularity in 1996, and after a period of decline, it has been rising again since 2019. Today, roughly 1 in 27000 girls receives this name, with the highest numbers in Texas, California, and New York. This recent uptick may reflect a cultural moment, though the name has never broken into the top 1000. Lilibeth offers parents a familiar yet distinctive choice, blending classic roots with a contemporary feel.

Lilibeth is a modern compound name formed from Lily and Elizabeth, two classic names with distinct origins. Lily derives from the Latin lilium, the flower symbolizing purity, while Elizabeth comes from the Hebrew Elisheva, meaning 'God is my oath.' The combination gained some popularity in the 20th century, favored for its melodic and familiar components.
