The name Lilián (also spelled Liliana) is a Latinate elaboration of Lily, itself derived from the Latin lilium, meaning lily flower, which traces back to the Greek leirion. The lily has long carried symbolic associations with purity and beauty in Christian and classical traditions, and the name spread widely across Europe and Latin America during the modern era. Related forms include Lilliana, Liliane, and the shorter Lilian, as well as the Italian and Spanish Liliana, which remains especially popular in Hispanic cultures.
