Meaning and background
The story behind Liliane
Liliane is recorded as the French form of Lillian. The final -e is part of a documented language form rather than an ending that needs its own translation. That makes Liliane a useful option when a French family connection or a namesake with this spelling matters. For a dog, preserving Liliane on the tag can keep that relationship visible while allowing the household's ordinary familiar forms in conversation.
