I know the Hebrew language manages to put a whole sentence into one word. But "What belongs to me also belongs to God" pressed into the name LILIA? "LI" means "mine", but what happened to "God"? Yahwe shortened to "A"? "Mine mine God"? - Strange! Also the meaning, I should say.

I would prefer Latin: Lilia there means "lilies" (the word is said to be of Egyptian origin). Or maybe it's just a pet form of Elizabeth.
