The flower "lily" is called yuri because, according to the most accepted story, the flower "swung" around with the wind. The verb "to swing" in Japanese is yuru 揺る, one of its conjugations is yuri 揺り, a noun for "swinging." So from that came the word yuri 揺り, "lily," which would later get different kanji.
