Callalily

The Calla lily is a beautiful trumpet-shaped lily flower, usually white in color, which symbolizes purity and innocence. Its name derives from the Greek kallos, meaning "beauty".

Calla lilies have long been associated with the goddess Hera. According to Greek legend, Zeus brought his son Hercules to nurse from Hera while she slept, so that he could have the strength of the gods. Hera awoke and pushed the baby away from her. Drops of milk flew across the sky, creating the milky way, and fell to earth, causing calla lilies to grow.

Pronounced KAL-ah-lil-ee.

As of October 2026, Callalily ranked #12736 in US births in 2018 SSA.
