Meaning & Origin of Tilia
Meaning: Wealth, riches.
Origin: Norwegian (short form of Otilia, ultimately Old High German/Proto-Germanic).
A common claim: Tilia means 'linden tree'. Actually: As a given name, Wiktionary traces Tilia to Otilia/Odila, meaning 'wealth, riches' — not the tree. The 'linden tree' claim likely comes from confusion with the identically spelled but unrelated Latin tree word.
