History & Origin

Lilyian is a respelling of Lilian, built to show the flower Lily inside the name. Lily has long stood for purity and innocence and is linked to Elizabeth. This Lily-forward spelling is a modern touch; it rode the wider Lily revival but stayed rare on its own.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 2010, and it stayed rare. A girl named Lilyian then is a child today.
