Lillith

What does the name Lillith mean?

Lillith is a double-l spelling of Lilith, a name from Mesopotamian and Jewish legend that is usually traced to the Akkadian lilitu and explained in Hebrew folk etymology as "of the night". Lilith appears in medieval lore as Adam's first wife, a figure later reclaimed as a symbol of female independence, which has made the name a bold modern choice. Lillith peaked at number 1797 in 2021 and ranks number 1919 in 2025.
