Lilly

Lilly is an English and Scandinavian given name derived from the flower name lily, which traces back through Latin lilium to Greek leirion, and ultimately to an ancient Near Eastern source. The lily has long been associated with purity and beauty in Christian and classical symbolism, lending the name a refined, floral character. Lilly is essentially a variant spelling of Lily, and both forms overlap with Lillian and Lilian, which developed as elaborated versions of the same root.
