A name that means "freedom (the statue of liberty + liberty phoenix)".

Liberty is from the Latin libertas (freedom) — embodied in the Statue of Liberty (Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, 1886) — the gift from France to the United States that became one of the most-recognized symbols of human freedom worldwide. The Statue of Liberty receives 4.5+ million visitors annually; the inscription on its base from Emma Lazarus's poem "The New Colossus" (1883) — "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" — is among the most-quoted lines in American literature.
