LILLIU | LILLU

Lilliu, widespread in south-western Sardinia, seems to originate from Cagliari, Lillu, extremely rare, has presences in Gallura and Cagliari, should derive from the Italian medieval name Lillo or from the Latin name Lilium, modified by the dialect. additions provided by Giuseppe Concas LILLIU; LILAC: like Ligia and Ligios, they derive from the Latin lilium = lily. More properly Lillu derives from lilium, while Lilliu derives from the Latin lilinus = small lily: in Sardinian lilac. Therefore the pronunciation of the surname is also nasal. In phonetic language we write lill? U for the fall phenomenon of the intervocalic nasal, but the pronunciation is always lilac. This is not a phenomenon of the Sardinian language only, but is also found in the Portuguese, Galician, Gascon, Asturian, Andalusian, French and also in some Sicilian dialects, etc.
