Lilien is a Germanic and Yiddish feminine name derived from the German word for lily, itself tracing back to Latin lilia, the plural of lilium, which in turn comes from Greek leirion. The lily flower has long carried associations with purity and grace in European Christian and Jewish cultural traditions, making it a natural source for given names. Lilien is closely related to the more widespread forms Lilia, Lilian, and Liliane, as well as the Hebrew-influenced Shoshana, which shares the floral naming tradition.
