Lil

Lil is a quaint little feminine name not to be mistaken for a small personality. A shorthand of Lily, from the Latin lilium, Lil means "lily flower," though many believe it also reflects this blossom's theme of purity. Across cultures, the lily flower is an enduring symbol, embodying passion, innocence, and fertility. As a diminutive of Lillian, Lil is also linked to the Hebrew Elizabeth, carrying the spiritual meaning of "my God is an oath." As demure a name as Lil may be, your child will have many pools of inspiration to pull from and will no doubt inspire many more.
