Meaning & origin
Lillion is a rare name that appears in U.S. Social Security records as early as 1902, with its peak year in 1904. It has never ranked in the top 1000, and its usage has been minimal and sporadic. The name's trajectory is stable, meaning it accounts for a small, consistent fraction of births over time. While its exact origin is uncertain, it is likely a variant of Lillian or a diminutive form of Lil, both associated with the lily flower. Lillion has not been recorded in any top states, indicating its spread is not regionally concentrated. Parents drawn to Lillion may appreciate its vintage feel and its similarity to more common floral-inspired names.
Lillion is likely a variant or respelling of Lillian, which itself comes from the Latin lilium (lily). Alternatively, it may be a diminutive or feminine form of Lil. The name has seen very rare usage in the United States, appearing primarily in the early 20th century.
