Lilith has a very interesting history although it is a negative one. It has a lot of perspectives. First, It is a Biblical name that means “Wildcats shall meet with the hyenas” then, the little Lilith shall find a place to rest for a while.
Second, from King James’ point of view, “The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest” (swapping the name Lilith with “screech owl”).
Third of all, Lilith entered Hebrew from the Afro-Asiatic language and conveyed the meaning of “night monster” or “screech owl”.
Then In ancient Mesopotamia, the name represented the name of a female who was the demonic spirit of the night. In some legends, we can see that Lilith was a soul-stealing devil who terrorized children while they were in sweet sleep.
Last but not least, we know that in Jewish folklore, Lilith was Adam’s first wife who was created from the earth just as he does. She believed in her equality with Adam and never changed her mind and admitted Adam’s authority.
Due to the above-mentioned reasons, Lilith is correlated with dark subjects and conveys dark meanings. She is used in many Western artistic genres ranging from different kinds of art to Gothic literature, films, and horror.
Although Lilith is a rare-used name, it is used occasionally among English speakers. It is counted as a feminine name although Lily is very popular and competing with that is not logical!

The popularity of the girl's name Lilith:
It is wise to say that Lilith has not been a popular name since 2010. In other words, Lilith had not been in the United States popularity chats since then. It was rarely used before 2010 and the rank of its usage may be less than 100 girls' naming per year. So, Lilith never appeared on the charts.
In 2011, Lilith experienced a light development in usage and that was not satisfying. The reason may be hidden in the bad point of view of people caused by the Biblical story. We should say that it is not true for certain. She is not representing the name referred to the ancient bad girl Like Eve or Delilah.
After all, Lilith is the symbol of Independence and gender equality. She was the person who fought for equality.
