Lily-Mae
Girl name · 84 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Lily-Mae: 84 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 10 births in 2012.
Lily-Mae is a modern compound name, pairing the floral Lily with the engaging Mae. Lily is drawn from the Latin *lilium* for the flower, a symbol of purity for centuries, while Mae—often a form of May or Mary—carries associations with the spring month and meanings of "wished-for child" or "beloved." This combination feels distinctly contemporary, popular in Scotland, England and Wales since the 1990s. One notable Lily Mae is the English actress Lily-Mae Harrington, and the name relates to a host of famous Lilies, including Lily James and Lily Collins. Though less common, Lily-Mae also echoes the established double-barrelled tradition of names like Rose-Mary. The combination offers parents a lyrical, affectionate choice with a sweet, melodic balance.
