Lillias is English, Scottish in Origin.
Lillias is a traditional Scottish feminine name, a variant of Lilias and related to Lilian/Lillian and Lily. Its root is the Latin lilium, “lily,” the flower long emblematic of purity and renewal. In Scottish Gaelic the form Lileas appears, while English spellings vary as Lilias, Lillias, Lillia, and Lilia; common short forms include Lillie and Lily.
Records in Lowland Scotland from the 16th–18th centuries show steady use, with bearers such as Lady Lilias Drummond (d. 1601) anchoring the name in early modern nobility. The Victorian craze for botanical names buoyed it again in Britain, though it has remained a rare, refined choice in the 20th and 21st centuries, found occasionally in Scottish families and the diaspora. Some sources connect Lillias to Elizabeth via the medieval nickname Lill-, yet most modern usage reflects the straightforward floral lineage and its serene, graceful associations.
