Lioliah is English in Origin.

Lioliah is a modern, rare given name, likely a creative blend rather than a traditional form. The opening Lio- evokes Latin leo lion through Leo or Lionel or the short name Lio, while -liah mirrors the biblical -iah from Hebrew -yah, a theophoric element; it also recalls Leah, Delilah, and Lilia. Resulting meanings are interpretive, ranging from lion of God to floral or nocturnal associations.

Usage surfaces in late 20th and 21st century English-speaking records, matching the rise of lyrical, vowel rich -iah names. It lacks established saintly or royal pedigree and functions as a contemporary coinage. Variants and near forms include Leoliah, Liolia, Lialiah, and Lioleah; diminutives Lia, Lila, and Lio are natural. Typically feminine, it can be used unisex in modern practice.
