Lilithlouise

'Lilith' appears in Jewish texts as a demoness or the first wife of Adam, symbolising independence and rebellion, whereas 'Louise' is the feminine form of 'Louis', meaning 'famous warrior'. The compound form is a contemporary invention without historical etymology but reflects modern Australian trends of combining names to create unique identities.
