A female given name, or an alternate spelling of 'lily,' a beautiful flowering plant with large blossoms, often symbolizing purity.
As a flower name, from Latin 'lilium,' possibly from Greek. As a given name, it derives from the flower, becoming particularly popular in the 19th and 20th centuries. The double-L spelling (Lilly) is a modern variant of Lily.
Lily flowers were so culturally important that many languages adopted the same root word—from Latin to French to English, showing how beautiful things in nature transcend cultural boundaries.
