What is the meaning of the name Lyly ?

The baby name Lyly is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈlɪli/ (LIL-ee); sometimes /ˈliːli/ (LEE-lee).

Lyly is English in Origin.

Lyly is a modern respelling of Lily, ultimately rooted in Latin lilium via Old French, and linked to the lily flower’s long-standing symbolism of purity, innocence, and renewal. The English given name Lily rose in the 19th century with the vogue for botanical names and Christian Marian imagery; Lyly circulates internationally today as a contemporary variant.

Variant forms include Lily, Lili, Lilly, Lillie, and Lylie; related names are Lilian/Lillian, Liliana, and Liliane. The name also has a literary echo through Elizabethan writer John Lyly, whose surname lends the spelling historical visibility. In a separate tradition, Finnish lyly is a surname and a common noun for a traditional wooden ski made from dense pine, suggesting glide and resilience, and appears occasionally as a given name in Finland, sometimes used unisex. Lyly can therefore carry both the delicate floral meaning and a Nordic, outdoorsy undertone.
