Lily name meaning. Famous people named Lily

Meaning of the name

Lily is a sociable, friendly and sympathetic person who can listen and help with advice and action. But it should be remembered that often her actions and desires are guided by an emotional impulse, and sometimes by idle curiosity. For this reason, you should not rely one hundred percent on her sympathy or support. Among negative traits The owner of this gentle name would like to note cowardice, slowness, self-doubt and pessimism (Lilia carefully hides the latter from others behind a mask of cheerfulness and playfulness).

Characteristics of the name Lily

Winter Lily reserved and vulnerable. With all her appearance she will show that she does not care about other people's opinions, but in fact, any criticism hurts her painfully. In general, it is not typical for this woman to show her feelings, so for those around her she remains " dark horse". Such secrecy becomes the reason that she has practically no close people to whom she could open her soul and entrust her experiences. Failures make her even more withdrawn and distrustful, especially in communication with men, so she gives all of herself first and foremost work.

Spring Lily – nature is bright, lively and active. She only sees in people positive features, so often her expectations are not met, which she experiences quite hard. Due to her trusting and open nature, she easily gets along with completely different people, some of whom take advantage of Lilia’s kindness and responsiveness for their own selfish purposes. This woman lacks the patience and perseverance to competently build her career and develop personal relationships. She is constantly in search of something new and ideal.

Summer Lily she is too emotional: she is capable of flaring up over a trifle and inflating a real tragedy from an ordinary problem. At the same time, her character can be called soft and pliable, so Lilia quickly forgets insults. If she learns to listen to herself, and not to the advice that “well-wishers” give out left and right, then her life will be quite successful. For the summer Lily, it is very important that life is filled with events, otherwise her dreamy nature will get bored and begin to look for adventures on her own, and this can lead to trouble.

Autumn Lily reasonable, diplomatic and unhurried. She is used to thinking about her every step - surprises “unsettle” her. Patience and wisdom, combined with hard work and fairness, help her achieve success in any business. But this woman sees her purpose not in work, but in family, for the sake of which she is ready to forget not only about her career, but also about herself. The main thing is that her work and efforts are appreciated. Thanks to her charm and good nature, she is always welcome in any company, and Lilia herself gladly receives guests in her cozy home, full of love and understanding.

Important! Lily's hobbies largely depend on the desire and mood with which the people and circumstances around her charge her.

Lily is a friendly person. She makes an excellent friend and advisor; she can calm you down in any situation, as she has a hidden talent as a psychologist. But if one of her friends betrayed her, then she may no longer hope to become her friend again. No, Lilya will not take revenge. This person will simply cease to exist for her.

Lilya loves to spend time in the company of her girlfriends; she will happily agree if she is invited on a trip or for a simple relaxation around the fire with friends.

He has an innate sense of calm and the ability to control himself, even in extremely tense situations. It is very easy and simple to have a conversation and even an argument with her (by the way, she does not like arguments), since her calmness and confidence extend to those around her.

As for the vicissitudes of love, Lilechka is a rather fickle person. Her tastes can change instantly and dramatically. This tendency is especially acute at a young age. A girl with such a flowery name is looking for a real prince, from whom she expects not only faithful and devoted love, but also stability and permanence of a relationship. What’s interesting is that she herself is often not capable of doing this.

Important! Like the whimsical flower after which she was named, Lily resists monotony in relationships. Ordinary life, everyday everyday problems, family matters - this is not her topic.

Lily's independence and love of freedom are often not to the liking of men. Representatives of the stronger sex may be frightened by such qualities of a girl as inconstancy and uncertainty. Only a self-confident, intelligent and strong-willed man can get along with such a whim. Although, however, Lilya simply does not pay attention to others, and in the very first seconds of communication excludes them from among the contenders for her hand and heart.

Lilya overly idealizes and romanticizes love. For her, this feeling is a real miracle, a daily celebration of life. Therefore, if there is not enough warmth and passion in a relationship, she simply turns around and leaves such a union.
As for such qualities as sexuality and sex appeal, they often become the subject of black envy of all Lilechka’s “friends”. And she is well aware of this. Despite her flighty character, Lilenka is very serious about intimate relationships. Outwardly independent and strong, inside Lily is tender, vulnerable and sensitive, and therefore her partner must be extremely attentive and affectionate with his fragile flower.

Marriage is one of the most important parameters in Lily's life. The man who will become her companion must correspond to the girl’s romantic ideal, and also be responsible, reliable, patient, and wealthy.

Important! Sociological surveys of girls with this name show that most often their first marriage is bursting at the seams, but the second is thoughtful and balanced, accordingly, it is durable and persistent. In general, the fickle Lily eventually turns into a responsible and loving wife, which is distinguished by thriftiness and devotion to her husband.

• Valentine;
• Vitaly;
• Eugene;

AND- an indicator of spirituality, sensitivity, kindness and elegance. A sign of honesty and directness. But, at the same time, the desire to hide one’s subtle nature and way of thinking behind a mask of firmness and skepticism. The desire to amaze everyone not only with intelligence, but also with beauty.
I- self-esteem, self-criticism, self-respect, self-preservation and everything related to the inner self. A keen sense of self-esteem is much higher than the desire to achieve respect and love from those around you. Ability to realistically evaluate own strength on the way to the goal.
