Lilly

Associated with the lily flower; also used as a spelling variant of Lily.

Lilly is an English-language feminine given name that’s often chosen for its clear sound and its association with the lily flower. In contemporary usage, it’s especially common as an alternate spelling of Lily, with the double -ll- giving it a slightly different visual style. Etymologically, the name is tied to English use of lily as a flower name, and it overlaps with Lily in both meaning and everyday interpretation. In some contexts Lilly also appears as a nickname form used within families for longer traditional names (for example Elizabeth), but that pathway isn’t universal and depends on personal or regional naming habits. Pronunciation in English is typically LIL-ee, with two syllables and a clear first syllable. A practical tip is to expect occasional spelling corrections (Lilly vs Lily) and to decide which form you want on official documents.

Etymology: Used in English as a given name inspired by the flower name lily, and also as a spelling variant of Lily. In some families it also appears as a nickname form for longer names such as Elizabeth, though usage varies.
