Lily-Beth is English in Origin.
Lily-Beth pairs the flower name Lily with Beth, a short form of Elizabeth. Lily comes from Latin lilium (ultimately Greek leirion), long a symbol of purity and renewal; as a given name it flourished in the 19th-century English floral vogue, though it also served earlier as a pet form of Elizabeth. Beth derives from Hebrew Elisheva, meaning “my God is an oath/abundance.” Together, Lily-Beth suggests “purity under God’s promise” or “lily of God’s oath.”
As a hyphenated double name, Lily-Beth fits a modern British and Australasian fashion for compound girls’ names, echoing patterns like Mary Beth in the American South and Lily-Rose in the UK and France. Variants include Lily Beth (unhyphenated), Lilybeth or Lilibeth (blended forms seen in Spanish- and Filipino-speaking communities), Lilly-Beth, and Lillie-Beth. Related diminutives include Lily, Beth, Libby, and Lili.
Lily-Beth does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
