What is the meaning of the name Lillee ?

The baby name Lillee is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LIL-ee (IPA: /ˈlɪli/).

Lillee is English in Origin.

Lillee is a modern, embellished spelling of Lily, the English flower name derived from Latin lilium. Through Old French lilie and Middle English lilie/lilye, the term came to denote the lily blossom, long a Christian emblem of purity, rebirth, and devotion (especially the Madonna lily). As a given name, Lily rose to prominence in the 19th century’s floral-name vogue; the Victorian-era spelling Lillie gained prominence via actress Lillie Langtry. Lillee itself appears mainly in the late 20th and 21st centuries as a creative twist, occasionally influenced by the Australian surname Lillee.

Variants and related forms include Lily, Lili, Lilly, Lillie, Lilee, Lilie, Lilia, Lilian/Lillian, Liliane, and Scandinavian/Slavic Lilja; nicknames include Lil and Lils. Meaning centers on the lily flower and its associations with innocence, elegance, and renewal.
