Elizabeth. It means "consecrated to God".
Everyone just calls me Liz. |

aaah, namebooks tell me my name has about the same meaning as "Elizabeth" because it somehow derives from it.
But I guess I'll never understand how "Lilian" can be a form of "Elizabeth" ;)
Like the name, though. It's kinda old-fashioned in Germany (Elisabeth, like the Austrian empress, but I like the English version better :) ) |

I also do not see how Lillian and Elizabeth are similar...
But I like your name as well. I believe it is a little old-fashioned in the US, but I like names like that. When I have kids I want to name them old fashioned names. Like Ruth, Cecilia, Olivia, George, Charles, James (NOT Jim), etc... But I haven't decided on any yet :P |

haha, I think I wrote this before (somewhere), but there really seem to be a LOT of American grannies with my name running around ;) Last year I met several Americans who told me "Oh wow, Lillian? - That's my GRANDMA!" ;)
I like old-fashioned English names, too. The German ones are sometimes a bit "too much". I like George, my grandpa was called Georg :) |

I think the Elis/zabeth/Lillian connection is very fitting, , you're a princess, after all! |

But I think there really is a royal "Lilian", in Sweden? She's really old now, but she iiiis a H.R.H. ;) |

My Name's Nora which comes from Eleonora (Eleonore) - which means Light of God (Nor(a)=Light, El = God)
So I'm the light. But then again in a different kind of language-history (Etymology): I was told that people call their kids "Nora'" or "Norah" which can come from a mix from: nora + sarah but also stands for "darkness and fear" - as they take it from: Nour(a)(arabic)- noire (fr)...and I think in Old-hebra (?) they also translate it with darkness...strange....
Well the light-thin is definitely true - the darkness thing, - well that was a theology-and language-prof. who told me that, and also an arabic-friend of mine..but hey they probably just wanted to make fun of me ....(I kinda deserved it back then ;) )
