Where does the name Lulu come from?
Lulu is a diminutive of names beginning with Lou or Lu, such as Louise or Lucinda, says Behind the Name. Louise is the French feminine of Louis, while Lucinda relates to Lucia and Latin lux, “light.” A separate Arabic Lulu means “pearls.” English Lulu usually points at the Louise-Lucinda family rather than the Arabic word.
Other forms of Lulu
Behind the Name links the English Lulu with Louise, Louisa, Lucy, Lucia, Lucinda, Lucille and Lou. Lou and Lucy are the easiest everyday companions. Louise and Lucinda are the usual formal names when Lulu is only for friends.
Well-known Lulus
Lulu, born Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie on November 3, 1948, is a Scottish singer, songwriter, actress and television personality. Wikipedia says her debut single, a cover of the Isley Brothers’ “Shout,” reached the UK top ten in 1964, and that she rose to international prominence after singing the theme to the film To Sir, with Love (1967). Her career has continued across seven decades.
Lulu’s popularity
Lulu was strong in late-Victorian America. US Social Security data has it in the top 200 in the 1880s and 1890s, highest at 95th in the 1880s, with more than 5,900 American girls named Lulu across those decades. Behind the Name no longer lists a recent US ranking for Lulu. Pet forms in -lu later gave way to Louise, Lucy and Lou on formal lists.
A few more things about Lulu
Lulu can mean pearls. Behind the Name’s Arabic entry defines Lulu as “pearls,” a separate origin from the English nickname of Louise. That gives the same four letters a jewelry meaning in one language and a Louis-or-Lucia nickname in another.

A notebook for every Lulu
Lulu’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
Why choose a personalized notebook?
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Lulu’s Notebook” on the cover tells Lulu it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
