Lilias

Where it comes from

First recorded in 16th-century Scotland, a variant of Lilian or possibly from the Spanish Liliosa, name of a 9th-century saint, both ultimately from Late Latin lilium (“lily”).

proper noun Lillias

A female given name from Latin. "Poor little thing! She is very wee and frail, isn't she? Only two months old. We came away from the north, as soon as I was able to travel. She is called Lily." I remembered Horace having once told me that his mother's name had been Lilias.
