Submitted Name Revision History

This name was (first?) used by Manfred Hausmann in his poem 'Lilofee' (1929), where it belongs to a Nixe or water fairy of the Mummelsee (a mountain lake in the Black Forest), the subject of an old German folk ballad who was unnamed in earlier stories, referred to simply as #Lilienmädchen# "lily-maiden". Perhaps it comes from a combination of the words #Lilie# "lily" and #Fee# "fairy" (from French #fée#).
