Lylia is in Origin.
Lylia is a modern, lyrical variant of Lilia, ultimately tied to the Latin lilium, “lily.” The name appears across languages - French and English creative spellings; Slavic forms like Russian/Ukrainian Liliya and Polish Lilia; and francophone North Africa, where y-spellings are common. It conveys the flower’s long-standing symbolism of purity, grace, and renewal, reinforced by Christian iconography of the Madonna’s lily.
As a given name, Lylia surfaces in late-20th-century records, riding the revival of floral and liquid-L names, while its root Lilia has been used far earlier in Eastern Europe. Some also connect it to Italian Lelia and the ancient Roman family name Laelia (source of the orchid genus Laelia), though this is a parallel rather than the chief source. Variants and cognates include Lilia, Liliya, Lillia, Lyliah, Liliah, Lilja, Lelia, and Lily; short forms include Lili and Lil.
