Lilly-Grace: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2012.
Lilly-Grace is a modern compound name that marries two enduring favourites. Lilly derives from the lily flower, ultimately from Latin lilium, symbolising purity and renewal; Grace comes from Latin gratia, meaning "favour" or "thanks," and has been a virtue name since the Reformation. While no prominent historical figure bears this exact double-barrelled form, it reflects a distinctly Scottish and UK trend of pairing floral and virtue names—think Lily-Mae or Grace-Rose. The name gained particular traction in Scotland from the early 2000s onward, and its separate components have royal echoes: Grace recalls Grace Kelly, while the lily is a traditional emblem of Scotland's own St Andrew. Variant spellings such as Lily-Grace are also common, but the doubled L in Lilly neatly balances the single G.
