Lili%c3%a1na

Liliana is a Latinate elaboration of Lily, itself derived from the Latin lilium, meaning lily flower, which traces back to the Greek leirion. The name carries associations with purity and beauty long linked to the lily in Christian symbolism, where the flower is especially connected to the Virgin Mary. It is widely used across Romance-language countries and Central and Eastern Europe, appearing in Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, and Italian traditions. Variant forms include Lilliana, Liliane, and Lilianna, while the simpler Lily and Lilia are closely related cognates.
