History & Origin

Liller most plausibly reflects a regional pronunciation of Lillie or Lily, the flower name long tied to purity. Such -er endings appear in other late-nineteenth-century names captured as families said them aloud.

It was always rare, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its 1915 peak, and it disappeared from records by the mid-1940s. A girl named Liller then belongs to a great-great-grandmother's generation now, while the plain Lily has thrived instead.

Did you know? Liller likely captures a spoken pronunciation of Lillie, an example of how regional speech turned a familiar flower name into an unusual written form in early records.
