What is the meaning of the name Tigerlily ?

The baby name Tigerlily is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced TY-gər-LIL-ee (IPA: /ˈtaɪɡərˌlɪli/).

Tigerlily is English in Origin.

Tigerlily is a modern English compound name drawn from the striking tiger lily bloom (Lilium lancifolium). The elements fuse tiger (via Greek tigris and Old Persian) with lily (from Latin lilium), balancing ferocity and grace. In Victorian floriography, the tiger lily represented confidence, pride, and wealth, while the wider lily family carried associations of purity and renewal. Together, the name evokes bold beauty, resilience, and nature’s vibrancy.

Use as a given name surfaced in English-speaking countries in the 20th century and gained familiarity through J. M. Barrie’s Princess Tiger Lily in Peter Pan. It remains uncommon but recognizable, with sporadic modern bearers such as Tiger Lily Hutchence-Geldof. Variants include Tiger-Lily and Tiger Lily; short forms and related nicknames include Tiggy, Tiger, Lily, and Tilly. See also Lily, Lilia, and Liliana for softer cognate options.
