History & Origin

Lilymay is a modern compound name. Lily is the flower, from the Latin lilium; May is the month of blossom and also a long-standing pet form of Mary and Margaret. Written as one word, they make a country-fresh double name of the kind popular in Britain and the U.S. alike. It is a compound, and we say so plainly (said 'LIL-ee-may').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, compound, and sweet.

Did you know? Lilymay is plainly a compound — Lily and May run together. May is both the month and an old pet form of Mary or Margaret, which gives the second half more history than it first appears to have.
