Meaning & Origin
Tigerlilly is a four-syllable girl's name with a sharp, distinct sound — ending on a consonant gives it a firm, clear close. With only 17 recorded U.S. births, it is exceptionally rare — the kind of name most people encounter for the first time when they meet your child.
Tigerlilly is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Tigerlilly is a compound feminine name joining Tiger — evoking strength, beauty, and wildness — with Lily, the flower name associated with purity and femininity. Tiger Lily is also the name of the Native American princess in J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, giving the name a literary and adventurous spirit.
Bold and fairy-tale-bright, Tigerlilly is a name for a girl who was never meant to be ordinary.
