Lilith (given name)
Name list
Lilith is a feminine given name sometimes given in reference to Lilith, a character in Jewish folklore who was said to be the first wife of the first man Adam who disobeyed him, was banished from the Garden of Eden, and who became a mythical she-demon.[2] The mythological tale has inspired modern feminists.[3][4][5]
It was also the name of Lilith Fair, a concert tour and traveling music festival from 1997 to 1999 that featured only female artists and female-led bands.
Lilith and Black Moon Lilith are placements in modern astrology that are said to represent women's liberation.[6]
Its similarity in sound to the etymologically unrelated, popular name Lily might also have increased awareness of the name.[7] Other names starting with the letter L as well as mythological names have been well used by new parents in recent years.[8]
Lillith is a spelling variant. Other variants include the Armenian Lilit and the Latvian Lilita.[9][10]
