What is the meaning of the name Lylie ?

The baby name Lylie is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LYE-lee (IPA: /ˈlaɪli/).

Lylie is English in Origin.

Lylie is a modern feminine name most often interpreted as a creative spelling of Lily, the English flower name from Latin lilium, long associated with purity, renewal, and light. The y-heavy form is also influenced by French lys (“lily”) and by the contemporary -ylie family of names, so Lylie may arise as a pet form or blend of Lily/Lilian with Kylie, or as an affectionate nickname for Lila or Delilah.

Documented in scattered British and North American records since the late 19th century, Lylie has remained uncommon, surfacing during waves of interest in floral and lyrical, two-syllable names. Variants and close relatives include Lily, Lillie, Lili, Lilee/Lylee, and the longer forms Lilian/Lillian and Lilias; related choices are Lyla and Lila. In all these traditions, the core meaning points back to the lily flower and its symbolic associations.
