📖 About Lillie
Lillie is a vintage variant of Lily, rooted in the Latin lilium (lily flower) and symbolizing purity, innocence, and beauty. Popular in Victorian England and throughout German-speaking Europe, the name evokes an Edwardian elegance that has returned to fashion in the 21st century. Its distinctive spelling sets it apart from Lily and Lilly, lending it a warmer, more personal character.
