Lillie

Lillie is an English name that arose in the nineteenth century as a pet form or spelling variant of Lily, itself derived from the Latin lilium, meaning the lily flower, which in turn traces back to Greek leirion. The lily has long carried symbolic associations with purity and beauty, making the name popular in the Victorian era. Lillie Langtry, the celebrated British actress and socialite, was among its most famous bearers and helped keep the name in wide use. Related forms include Lily, Lilly, and Lilia.
