What is the meaning of the name Lillia ?

The baby name Lillia is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced LIL-ee-ə (IPA: /ˈlɪliə/).

Lillia is Latin in Origin.

Lillia is a feminine given name formed as an English elaboration of Lily with the Latinate suffix -ia, ultimately tracing to Latin lilium “lily.” The spelling also aligns with Romance and Slavic forms such as Spanish/Italian Lilia and Russian Liliya (Лилия). Pronunciation varies by region - commonly LIL-ee-ə in English, sometimes LIL-yah under Slavic influence. The name evokes the lily’s long-standing associations in European languages and Christian iconography.

As a product of the late 19th‑century vogue for botanical names, Lillia appears in Victorian and Edwardian records, then reemerges in modern baby‑naming alongside Lily and Lillian. Meaning centers on “lily; purity, beauty, renewal,” drawn from the flower’s symbolism. Established variants and cognates include Lilia, Liliya, Lilja (Nordic), Lillian, and the simplified Lily; less common spellings are Lilliah and Lylia. Diminutives include Lili, Lilly, and Lia. Related male form: Lilian in French historical use.
