Dictionary meaning
The current Ukrainian dictionaries mention this name, but if they do, it is only in the form of Liliya (Beley 98) or Liliiana, associating it with the Western European Liliana, which comes from the Latin word "lily" (ESUM 3 261). Onomastic dictionaries of other nations present this name according to the national pronunciation of the corresponding flower name. For example, the Bulgarian name Liliya (Ilchev 303), the Croatian name Lilija (Śim 194). The name Lileya was used by Taras Shevchenko in 1846 for the heroine of his poem "Lileya." The name indeed originated from the name of the flower lily (Latin Lilium). Leading Russian onomastic dictionaries recommend using the name Liliya.

Remember to keep the 'i' sounds clear and distinct, giving "Liliia" a melodic flow.
