Lilith (לִילִית) is a Hebrew name meaning "of the night" — from the same root as the Hebrew lailah (night). In Jewish folklore, Lilith was Adam's first wife, created equal to him from the earth, who refused to be subordinate and was banished; she has been variously depicted as a demon, a goddess, and (by modern feminists) a symbol of female autonomy.
Lilith has been rising rapidly in the 2020s as part of the broader reclamation of mythological figures. Today the name sits in the U.S. top 200.
Lilith does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Lilith reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
