Girl name · 86 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Lili: 86 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 9 births in 2011.

Lili is a floral name derived from the Latin *lilium*, meaning "lily," often seen as a charming variant of Lily or Lilia. It has been borne by accomplished figures such as American actress Lili Reinhart, French composer Lili Boulanger, who won the Prix de Rome at just 19, and Lili Elbe, a Danish painter and early transgender pioneer. Though no major places share the name's root directly, the lily itself is a symbol of purity in many cultures. Notably, Lili is also a common Hungarian diminutive for girls, giving it an international resonance that feels both delicate and enduring.
