Lillith is Hebrew in Origin.
Lillith is a modern respelling of Lilith that adds an extra l, ultimately from Akkadian lilitu, "female night spirit," absorbed into Biblical Hebrew as lilit (often rendered "night creature"). The name's mythic bearer appears in Jewish folklore and medieval texts as a nocturnal figure associated with independence and liminality; etymologically it connects to the Semitic root lyl, "night".
As a given name in the West it surfaced in the late 19th century, gained literary currency through Romantic and Pre-Raphaelite works, and rose again with late-20th-century and contemporary pop culture and feminist reinterpretations. Variants and forms include Lilith (standard), Lilit (Armenian), Lylith/Lilithe; short forms Lily, Lili, and Lil. Lillith preserves the same meaning: "of the night" or "night spirit," carrying a moody, elegant, and strong modern appeal.
