Liliah is Latin in Origin.
Liliah is a modern English given name, typically pronounced lih-LIE-uh. It reads as an embellished blend of Lily/Lila with the Biblical -iah ending. Lily traces to Latin lilium and the flower symbol of purity; Lila connects to multiple roots - Hebrew Lilah “night,” Arabic Layla “night,” and Sanskrit līlā “play, divine sport.” The -iah element in many Hebrew names represents Yah(weh), lending a faint theophoric echo without fixing a single origin.
As an intentional modern creation, Liliah has seen sporadic use in Anglophone countries since the late twentieth century, rising with other Lily/Lyla forms. Variants include Lilia, Lillia, Liliah, Lilah, Lila, and Leila; related international forms are Liliya (Slavic) and Líle (Irish). Nicknames span Lily, Lili, Lia, and Lila. Taken together, Liliah can convey “lily; purity,” “night,” or “playful delight,” with some parents also hearing “belonging to Yah(weh)” through -iah.
