""Poor little thing! She is very wee and frail, isn't she? Only two months old. We came away from the north, as soon as I was able to travel. She is called Lily." I remembered Horace having once told me that his mother's name had been Lilias."
""Lilias! Lilias!" he answered. "Lilias! Where are you?" "In the garden," it came back like a sound from a golden flute."

First recorded in 16th-century Scotland, a variant of Lilian or possibly from the Spanish Liliosa, name of a 9th-century saint, both ultimately from Late Latin lilium (“lily”).
