"Traditional French name"
The name Lilas is commonly a female name from the "French" origin.
Lilas is the French word for the lilac shrub and is used in French as a feminine given name taken from the plant name rather than from an older personal name root. The French word came into the language from Spanish lilac, which traces through Arabic lilak to Persian nilak, a diminutive of nil, the word for indigo. The name therefore carries the sense of the flower, not a separate lexical meaning.
The pronunciation of Lilas is LYE-lus.
