Lill is English, Scandinavian in Origin.
Lill is a compact feminine name with English and Northern European roots. In English it began as a pet form of Lily or Lillian, ultimately linked to Latin lilium, the lily flower, long emblematic of purity and renewal. Records show Lill as an independent given name from the late 19th century, when floral names surged in popularity.
In Scandinavia the name also circulates as a familiar short form that later stood on its own, influenced by the productive adjective stem lill- “little” in Swedish/Norwegian compounds and by diminutives of Elisabeth and Lilja. In Estonian, lill is the common noun for “flower” and a frequent surname, reinforcing the name’s floral sense. Variants and related forms include Lil, Lilli/Lilly, Lili, Lillie, Lily, Lillian/Lilian, and the Nordic Lilja. The meaning centers on “lily; flower,” with connotations of innocence and fresh beginnings.
