Meaning & origin
Lillymae is a modern compound name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2008. It combines two well-liked elements: Lilly, a floral name that has been popular for decades, and Mae, a short and sweet middle-name staple. The name reached its peak popularity in 2014, when it was given to a small number of girls, and has since remained stable at very low usage. With a rank of 10,107 and an incidence of 1 in 178,585 births in 2025, Lillymae appeals to parents seeking a unique but familiar-sounding name that blends nature and tradition. Its top states are not recorded, indicating that its usage is scattered across the country.
Lillymae is a modern coinage formed by merging the popular name Lilly, a spelling variant of Lily (ultimately from Latin lilium, referring to the flower), with Mae, a variant of May (from the month name or used as a diminutive of Mary). This style of combining two short, familiar names became fashionable in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom.
