How to spell/where is it from?

Lately I've taken to liking a name pronounced like LEE-lee-uh. It seems like I must have heard it somewhere and stored it in my subconscious! Anyway, does anyone know how this name might be spelled or where it might be derived from? At first I thought maybe Lilia, but then people might say that more like Lily-ah than lee-lee-ah. Lelia doesn't look so right either for some reason, and and anything like leelea or leighleah or whatever else I can think of is totally goofy and made up and I don't like at all.
And if you do have something worthwhile to post, I wouldn't mind if you added your opinion on the name. I waiver between thinking it very pretty and thinking it very affected. Not that I'd ever use it for real since my last name starts with L, but...
