Lilli and Lotte are not the same person.
I conulted my Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians, and no relationship is mentioned. Lilli Lehmann was born in 1848 in Wurzburg, Germany, and died in Berlin in 1929. She had a sister who was also a singer - Marie, and her mother, Marie Loew was also a soprano. Lotte Lehmann was born in 1888 in Perleberg and died in 1976 in Santa Barbara, California (she had become an American citizen). I remember reading in Marilyn Horne's memoirs that she studied or coached with Lotte Lehmann.
I have more info if you need it.
