Lily-Anne
Girl name · 13 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Lily-Anne: 13 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 7 births in 2011.
Lily-Anne is a modern compound name, blending Lily, from the Latin *lilium*—the flower symbolising purity—with Anne, the English form of Hannah, meaning “grace” in Hebrew. While no major historical figures bear this exact hyphenated form, both parts have distinguished individual bearers: Anne, Queen of Great Britain, and Lily, as in actress Lily James. The name shares its floral root with the city of Lille in France, which takes its name from the lily. As a double-barrelled name, Lily-Anne became popular in Scotland from the 1990s onward, offering a melodic twist on two classics—a favourite among parents seeking a delicate yet substantial choice.
