- Origin: English
- Gender: Female
From the name of a type of flower, it was used as the name of the Native American princess in the J.M. Barrie play, Peter Pan (1904). Its use as a bona fide given name was boosted, however, when Paula Yates and Michael Hutchense used this as one of the middle names of their daughter, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof (b. 1994), also used by Michael Taylor the same year for his daughter, Tigerlily Taylor (b. 1994), now a model.
Its Nordic form of Tigerlilja has also been sporadically used in Nordic countries since the 1990s, more often as a middle name.
