An inhabitant of the city is referred to as ''Līlasuṃghāṇi'' or, more formally, ''Līlasuṃghānyūs''. In the vernacular, the demonym is ''Lilsuhåṇuu'' [ˈɴ̆iːɴ̆ʂyhɔˌɳuː]. The vernacular-derived form ''Læy'' [ˈɴ̆ɛj] is commonly used both in the vernacular and in Chlouvānem, albeit only informally. | An inhabitant of the city is referred to as ''Līlasuṃghāṇi'' or, more formally, ''Līlasuṃghānyūs''.

In foreign languages, it is mostly known by transliterations of the Chlouvānem name ([[saKalurilut]]: ''iLingasunngana'' [[Skyrdagor]], [[Nordulaki]]: ''Ninasungana'', [[Cerian]]: ''Nínasungána'', [[Holenagic]]: ''Ṅieṅasuṅgaena''), but in [[Brono-Fathanic]] it is commonly called "Holy City" due to it being the holiest city of the Yunyalīlta (Bronic: ''Boraosovahisy'', Fathanic: ''Bərawswaheus''), with the full form "Holy City of Līlasuṃghāṇa" (Bronic: ''Lilasongana boraosa ovahisy'', Fathanic: ''Liŋaseuŋgan bəraws waheus'') being only found in a few official reports or in lists of holy cities and places. | |||
