Lelia as a name
Lelia is a feminine given name of Italian and Spanish origin. It is derived from the Latin name Lelia, which was a nickname for women named Aurelia, Cornelia, or Othelia.
The name Lelia became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States, possibly due to its similarity to the popular names Lillian and Amelia. It is still used today, although it is not as common as some other names.
Some famous people named Lelia include Lelia Goldoni, an American actress known for her work in independent films, and Lelia Pissarro, a French artist and the great-grandson of the famous Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro.
