Lilyanna

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Lilyanna: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2015.

Lilyanna is a modern, decorative elaboration of Lily, ultimately derived from the Latin *lilium*, the flower that has long symbolised purity and innocence. The name blends the floral classic with the popular -anna suffix, creating a feminine, melodic compound. Famous bearers are rare due to its contemporary nature, though it shares roots with the celebrated actress Lily James and the legendary Lillian Gish, pioneering star of silent cinema. The lily also lends its name to the Scottish town of Lilias, though no direct place connection exists for this particular spelling. A notable variant is Lilliana, which enjoys greater popularity in the United States, while Lilyanna itself has seen modest but steady use in Scotland since the early 2000s, appealing to parents seeking a romantic, embellished take on a timeless favourite.
