Lelie

Lelie is a Dutch word name directly meaning 'lily'. The lily flower has long been a symbol of purity, beauty, and innocence in many cultures, particularly in Christian traditions where it is associated with the Virgin Mary. As a given name, Lelie is a relatively modern and uncommon choice, reflecting a trend of using nature-inspired names.

While the flower itself has ancient roots and symbolism, its direct use as a personal name like Lelie is more contemporary, often chosen for its delicate sound and beautiful imagery. It is a direct translation of the flower's name, similar to how 'Rose' or 'Daisy' are used in English-speaking countries.
