Lily, one of the most popular flower names of the 2000s, is derived from the Latin word lilium, referring to the lily flower. Lily flowers are known for their leafy stems, scaly bulbs and narrow leaves, and are generally seen as a symbol of magesty, purity and grace. The name started losing popularity in the 1930s before falling of the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for girl names in the 1960s and 1970s. It made a comeback in the 1980s and has now been a top-100 girl's name every year since 2002. Other variations include Lilly, Lillie, Liliana, Lilith and Lily-Lou, Lilibet and Lillian.
