Meaning & History
This name was (first?) used by Manfred Hausmann in his poem 'Lilofee' (1929), where it belongs to a Nixe or water fairy of the Mummelsee (a mountain lake in the Black Forest), the subject of an old German folk ballad who was unnamed in earlier stories, referred to simply as Lilienmädchen "lily-maiden". Perhaps it comes from a combination of the words Lilie "lily" and Fee "fairy" (from French fée).
