Origin

Lylaanne is a modern Australian-American hybrid name formed by combining 'Lyla'—a name with Arabic origins meaning 'night' or 'beautiful'—with the suffix '-anne', an English variant of 'Ann', derived from Hebrew meaning 'grace' or 'favor'. The constructed form 'Lylaanne' reflects contemporary naming trends in Australia towards unique, melodious names with multicultural influences. It does not have historical mentions in ancient texts but is a product of creative naming practices in the 21st century.
