About the name Lily

Lily. What a beautiful name to carry through life. It comes from Latin, rooted in the word for the lily flower itself, and its meaning is simply and completely: pure. There is something so graceful about that. A name that has meant the same beautiful thing since medieval Europe, carried across centuries without losing a single drop of its elegance.

The lily flower has always been one of the most beloved in the world, a symbol of purity and grace, and when someone gave their daughter this name, they were wrapping her in all of that meaning from her very first breath. That is a lovely thing to think about.

And Lily has never gone out of style. It reached real heights of popularity in the 2010s and remains very popular today, which tells you something. Some names fade. Lily does not. It endures because it is timeless.

If you have ever felt a connection to someone named Lily Potter, Harry's mother in the wizarding world, well, now you know you share a name with one of the most devoted and courageous mothers in all of fiction. And in the real world, Lily Tomlin, Lily Collins, Lily Allen. Talented, strong, creative women who have all worn this name with their own distinct brilliance.

Your name day, by the way, falls on May the second. A lovely little date to know about yourself.

So if your name is Lily, here is what I want you to take with you today. Your name is ancient and it is current. It is soft and it is strong. It has been chosen by people across centuries and cultures because something about it just feels right. And that something is you.
