History & Origin
Lilibeth fuses Lily — the flower of purity, from Latin lilium — with Beth, the tail of Elizabeth, Hebrew Elisheva, 'my God is an oath'. It shadows Lilibet, the British royal family's in-house name for Elizabeth II, coined by the future queen herself as a small child.
The -beth form took root especially in the Philippines and Latin America, where compound names flourish; U.S. records show it steadily but rarely, often in Filipino-American and Hispanic families. The 2021 birth of royal baby Lilibet Diana renewed global attention to the whole name family.
