Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

An independent Hungarian diminutive of Lídia and Lívia with a celebrated literary tradition.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Lilla vznikla v maďarčine ako staršia domácka podoba ženských mien Lídia a Lívia a neskôr sa osamostatnila. Meno výrazne spopularizoval maďarský básnik Mihály Csokonai Vitéz, ktorý ním vo svojej ľúbostnej poézii označoval svoju múzu Juliannu Vajdovú. Priame odvodzovanie mena Lilla z latinského lilium (ľalia) nie je pri maďarskom mene etymologicky opodstatnené.
