What Does the Name Lilianna Mean?
Lilianna is a spelling variant of Liliana, the form of the name used in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, and Romanian. It carries the meaning of English Lillian: lily, the flower. The base is Latin lilium, the Latin word for the lily, which is generally traced back to Greek leirion.
A separate, older explanation treats Lillian as a medieval English pet form of Elizabeth, which would give it the sense "God is my oath." That derivation is disputed, and the flower meaning is the one normally attached to Liliana and Lilianna. The doubled n in Lilianna is only a spelling variation and does not alter the meaning.
Lilianna Name History & Origins
The name rests on the Latin word for the lily, a flower used in Christian art as a symbol of purity, which helped names of this family spread in southern and central Europe. Liliana became the usual form in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Polish, while English developed Lillian.
In medieval England, Lillian is reported as a diminutive of Elizabeth, and some reference works treat that as the name's starting point instead of the flower; the two explanations have long been offered side by side, and no single origin is settled. Lillian was in use in English as a given name in its own right by the 19th century, and the Latinate Liliana entered English use alongside it. Lilianna, with two n's, is a later spelling that appears in both English and Polish.
