Lillium is Latin in Origin.
Lillium is a modern, ornamental given name inspired by Latin lilium “lily” and the English flower-name Lily. The doubled l adds a lyrical, embellished look while keeping the same lilting sound (LIL-ee-um). Latin lilium is widely held to be a borrowing from Greek leirion, both denoting the lily flower famed for its pale, trumpet-like blooms.
As a given name, Lillium is rare and part of the modern wave of nature-inspired choices, used chiefly for girls. Variants and connected forms include the classical Lilium, Romance-leaning Liliam/Lilliam, and the wider lily family: Lily, Lilia, Lillian/Lilian, Liliana, and Liliane. Nicknames range from Lily and Lili to Lia or Lulu. The core meaning is “lily,” with associations of purity, innocence, and renewal; in Christian symbolism, lilies evoke the Virgin Mary and Easter rebirth, lending Lillium a gentle, virtue-name aura.
Lillium is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 5 times, across 3 countries.
