Lilian

Lilian is an English name that originated as an elaborated form of Lily, itself derived from the Latin lilium and Greek leirion, both denoting the lily flower, long symbolic of purity and beauty. The name gained widespread use in the English-speaking world during the late nineteenth century, when flower names became fashionable for girls. It functions as a variant of Lillian, and both forms share roots with the related names Liliana, Liliane, and Lily.
