What is the meaning of the name Lilis ?

The baby name Lilis is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LEE-lis (IPA: /ˈliːlɪs/).

Lilis is Filipino, Indonesian in Origin.

Lilis is a feminine given name most commonly used in Indonesia, especially among Sundanese and Javanese speakers. It is widely understood as a floral name allied to Lily, ultimately from Latin lilium “lily,” the long-standing symbol of purity, renewal, and devotion in European and Christian iconography. As a standalone Indonesian name, Lilis also carries a soft, lyrical sound favored in mid‑20th‑century urban naming trends.

Documented bearers include Indonesian singers Lilis Suryani (1953–2007) and Lilis Karlina (born 1976), which helped entrench its popularity. Beyond Indonesia, the form is occasionally seen in global records as a variant spelling or diminutive of Lily/Lili and of longer forms such as Lillian, Liliana, and the Scottish Lilias. Related variants include Lili, Lily, Lillie, Lilia, Liliana, and Lilias; a common pet form is Lis. The name’s core meaning remains “lily,” with associations of purity, beauty, and hope.
