lylith is in Origin.

Lylith is a modern respelling of Lilith, a name rooted in Hebrew Lilit (לִילִית), likely from Akkadian lilītu “female night spirit,” ultimately linked to Sumerian lil “air/spirit.” In the Hebrew Bible (Isaiah 34:14) the term appears as a nocturnal being; later Jewish folklore, especially medieval Alphabet of Ben Sira, casts Lilith as Adam’s first wife and a symbol of independence. Via Renaissance and Romantic literature the figure persisted, and by the late 20th century the name was reclaimed with feminist and gothic overtones.

As a given name, Lilith saw revival in the West in the 19th–20th centuries; Lylith represents a contemporary stylistic twist aligning with y-variants. Common forms across languages include Lilith, Lilit (Hebrew/Armenian/Russian transliteration), and the embellished Lillith. Short forms used by some families are Lily, Lili, Lil, and Lila. The meaning is typically rendered “of the night” or “night creature,” often softened in modern usage to simply “night.”
