The name has been relatively stable in usage over the past decade, not showing signs of a revival. Its floral etymology connects it to a tradition of nature-inspired names. Parents drawn to the lily flower's symbolism may appreciate this less common spelling.
Lilliane is a spelling variant of Lilian, which ultimately derives from the Latin 'lilium' (lily). The name was popularized in medieval Europe through the Latinized form 'Liliana'. It has been used in English-speaking countries since the 17th century, often associated with the flower's symbolism of purity and beauty. The spelling with a double 'l' is a less common but established variant.
