Luli Origin and Meaning

The name Luli is a girl's name meaning "dewy jasmine; light; hummingbird".

This sweet double-L name is used as a diminutive form of "Lu" names, particularly in Latin American, where actresses Luli Miller (Lucielle), Luli Salazar (Luciana), and Luli Torn (Carla Lucia) have made it more familiar. It could work globally however, as a short form of Luisa, Lulit, or Lucy, or as a stand alone, given the popularity of Lumi and Leni.

A truly multicultural option, Luli also has its origins in Chinese, where it is made up of the elements Lu "dew, essence" and li "white jasmine", lending it bright floral appeal. It coincides with lule too, the Albanian word for "flower".

Another appealing meaning comes from the Aymara language, spoken by the indigenous Aymara people of Bolivia and Peru. In this case, it means "hummingbird".
