Liller is a unique and distinctive given name of German origin, derived from the Germanic elements 'hlil' meaning 'protection' or 'shield', and '-hard' meaning 'strong, brave'. It's a variant form of the name Hilmar. While it's not widely used today, Liller holds historical significance as it was borne by notable individuals in the past. For instance, Liller Kuehnle, an American artist, is known for her vibrant paintings and sculptures featuring abstract forms and bold colors. The name Liller carries a sense of strength and protection, making it a potential choice for parents looking for a distinctive yet meaningful name for their child.
The name Liller experienced fluctuations in popularity throughout the late 19th and early to mid-20th centuries, with a total of 333 babies named Liller born during this period. The name's popularity peaked twice, first around the years 1885-1886 (with 6 births each year), and again between 1904-1907 (ranging from 7 to 10 births annually). However, there were several periods where the name was quite uncommon, such as in the late 1920s to early 1930s when there were only 5 births each year. Overall, while Liller had some years of notable popularity, it seems to have been a relatively uncommon name during this time span.
