Meaning & origin

Liller is a name with an obscure history. First recorded in 1880, it was among the early names in U.S. birth records but never appeared in the top 1000. Its peak year was also 1880, suggesting it was used sparingly even then. The name has remained stable in the decades since, with little to no recorded usage in recent years. This rarity makes Liller a distinctive choice, though its meaning and origins are uncertain. It is likely a phonetic variant or diminutive of more common names like Lily or Lillian.

Liller appears to be a rare name, likely a phonetic variant or diminutive of Lily or Lillian, which are derived from the Latin word 'lilium' meaning 'lily'. It may also be a creative spelling of the word 'lil' meaning 'little'. The name was first recorded in the United States in 1880, but never gained significant popularity.
