Lilliana

Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Lilliana: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2013.

With its melodic rhythm, Lilliana blends the timeless charm of Lily with the elegant suffix -ana, often interpreted as "lily" or "pure." Rooted in Latin through *lilium*, the name flowered as a modern elaboration of Lillian, itself a diminutive of Elizabeth, meaning "God is my oath." Notably, no single famous bearer dominates, but the name shares kinship with Lily James, the English actress who brought a winning warmth to roles in *Downton Abbey* and *Cinderella*. Across the Atlantic, the town of Liliana, in northern Italy, echoes the same floral etymology, a subtle place-link for those with wanderlust. Further, Lilliana has surged in popularity since the 1990s, often chosen for its romantic, multi-syllabic flow—a favourite among parents who adore Lily but seek a more distinctive variant.
