Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Lilli je doložená domácka podoba mena Elisabeth, slovenského Alžbeta, používaná aj samostatne. Hebrejský pôvod má prostredníctvom tohto východiskového mena, nie ako samostatné hebrejské slovo. Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache odvodzuje Elisabeth z hebrejského Elíšeba a význam vykladá ako „Boh je plnosť, Boh je dokonalosť“.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Pôvod a význam: Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache – Lilly a varianty Lilli, Lily, Lili. Podoby Lilli a Lili: Duden. Nesklonnosť vyplýva z pravidla pre ženské mená zakončené na -i: Morfológia slovenského jazyka, s. 123. Status verified sa vzťahuje na doložené odvodenie od Elisabeth. Domácke tvary sú možnosti slovenského rodinného oslovenia, nie overený rebríček obľúbenosti. Medzinárodné podoby nemusia mať v každom jazyku totožný pôvod ani úradný status. Konkrétne heslo Lilli v monografii Majtána a Považaja nebolo priamo overené.
