The story of Lillyanna
Latin lilium gave Europe the flower's name and gave devotional art one of its fixed symbols. Liliana appears in Italian, Spanish and Romanian; Lillian took hold in English-speaking countries in the nineteenth century. The American records then multiplied the spellings — Liliana, Lilliana, Lilianna, Lillyanna — with each added letter making the Lilly inside more visible.
Meaningscholars disagree
lily
Liliana is generally read as an extension of the Latin lilium, lily. A second line derives Lillian from Elizabeth by way of medieval pet forms, in which case the flower is a later reinterpretation rather than the source.
