Meaning & Origin
A female given name from Latin.
Lilia is a girl's and boy's baby name of Latin origin, from the Latin lilium meaning "lily" — the elegant white flower symbolizing purity, renewal, and the Virgin Mary in Christian tradition. It is a graceful variant of Lily with a classical Latin form.
Lilia is used across Italy, Spain, and Eastern Europe as a name of quiet floral beauty. In the United States, it has grown as a slightly more formal alternative to Lily, with the -ia ending lending it a Mediterranean warmth that works beautifully across cultures.
