A boy's name with 6 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
When Lirim hit its peak of 6 births in 2000, the internet was beginning to expose parents to a wider world of naming options, and pop culture influence on baby names was at an all-time high.
Today, Lirim reads as a name tied to a specific era — which is exactly what draws some parents to it.
Lirim is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Lirim is a boy's baby name of Albanian origin, meaning 'freedom' or 'liberty,' from the Albanian word liri. It is one of the most meaningful names in Albanian culture, popular among Albanian communities in Kosovo, Albania, and the diaspora worldwide.
Rare in broader U.S. records but deeply significant within Albanian communities, Lirim is a name that carries a nation's deepest aspirations — freedom as both a personal and political act of naming.
