About the name Liliane

According to Behind the Name, Liliane is the French form of Lillian. Lillian was probably at first a diminutive of Elizabeth, but it can also be understood as an elaborated form of Lily, from Latin lilium, 'lily', and so the name has no single meaning. The ending -ane is a formative of female names that the Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) attributes to French -anne, also present in Cristiane and Viviane. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 81,822 people named Liliane, almost always women, with a median age of 36. Proportionally, it is most common in Bahia.
