Meaning & origin

Lilinoe is a rare and modern name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1995. Its peak in popularity came in 2022, though it has since declined, reflecting a falling trajectory. The name is given to approximately 1 in every 133,939 children, making it an uncommon choice. While its origins are uncertain, the name's soft, melodic sound likely appeals to parents seeking a unique and feminine name. It has not been recorded in any U.S. top states, indicating its rarity across the country.

The name Lilinoe does not have a well-documented etymology. It may be a modern variation or respelling of Hawaiian names such as Lilinoi or Liliha, or a creative coinage combining elements like Lili- and -noe. Because of its recent appearance in U.S. records (first recorded in 1995), its derivation remains speculative.
