Meaning & History
Lily-Rose is a contemporary English compound name, blending Lily and Rose.
This hyphenated combination of two classic floral names gained popularity in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, reflecting a trend toward double-barreled names in English-speaking countries. Each component carries its own heritage: Lily, a flower-derived name symbolizing purity, has gained widespread modern usage with notable figures like American actress Lily Tomlin, while Rose, also from the flower, has a longer history as a given name derived from the Old German name Hrodohaidis.
Double floral names like Lily-Rose evoke a nature-oriented, delicate charm and are particularly common among celebrities. For example, the French-British model and actress Lily-Rose Depp, daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, is a prominent bearer of the name.
