Of the night
A modern spelling variant of the ancient name Lilith. In Semitic folklore, it is derived from the Akkadian word 'lilitu' meaning 'night monster' or 'night spirit'. While historically associated with a figure from Jewish mythology, it has been reclaimed in modern times as a symbol of independence and feminine strength.
