Iselilja

A wintery name, with a fairy tale feel, Iselilja blends the Norwegian is with lilja to give the pretty meaning "ice lily". Quietly used in Norway as a middle and given name, it appears in a medieval ballad called Knut liten og Sylvelin. This song has been popularized in modern memory by folk singers and bands, including Alf Cranner, Kong Lavring, and Gåte.

Other sources suggest the name is related to the Germanic Isa (a short form of Isabella) or to Iselin, which may mean "iron".

Pronounced EES-uh-LIL-ya.
