Lillah is Arabic, English, Hebrew, Sanskrit in Origin.
Lillah is a blended spelling bridging several traditions. As a variant of Lilah/Lila and Leila, it draws from Hebrew laylah "night" and Arabic Layla "night," while in South Asian contexts Lila/Leela from Sanskrit lila conveys "play, divine sport." Through its kinship with Lilla/Lilia, it also echoes the Latin lilium "lily," a long-favored emblem of purity.
The double-l, final-h form reflects late Victorian and Edwardian tastes for ornate spellings; the name appears in British and American records of that era and remains a rare, vintage-leaning choice today. Notable bearer: the English stage actress Lillah McCarthy (1875–1960). Common variants include Lila, Lilah, Lilla, Leila, Layla, Leilah, Lyla, Lilia, Lillian, and Leela. Depending on the root you prefer, Lillah can signify "night," "play," or "lily," carrying notes of mystery, joy, and grace.
