Lilidh is a distinctly Scottish spelling of the classic flower name Lily, which ultimately traces back to the Latin *lilium* and the Greek *leirion*, symbolising purity and beauty. This particular form emerged as a modern Gaelic-inflected variant, gaining popularity in Scotland from the early 2000s onwards as part of a wider revival of traditional names with a contemporary twist. While no famous bearers spring immediately to mind, Lilidh shares its root with the charming Scottish name Lilias—a historical favourite among Highland families. The name also echoes the French *Lili* and the English Lily, yet its distinctive *-idh* ending gives it a uniquely Scottish lilt, making it a lovely choice for parents seeking a fresh but rooted name with floral charm.
