Lilien is a Germanic and Yiddish name derived from the word for lily, ultimately tracing back to Latin lilium and Greek leirion, a flower long associated with purity and grace. It was used among Ashkenazi Jewish communities as both a given name and a surname, often chosen for its symbolic brightness and beauty. Related forms include Lilia, Lilie, and the Hebrew-influenced Shoshana, which carries a similar floral meaning.
