Bettylou is a feminine compound name that combines two classic American names: Betty (traditionally a diminutive of Elizabeth) and Lou (which can be short for Louise or Louis). Popular primarily in mid-20th century America, Bettylou represents the trend of hyphenated or combined names that emerged during that era. It evokes a nostalgic, Southern charm and was most common in rural American communities between the 1930s-1950s. While Betty peaked in popularity during the 1930s, the combined form Bettylou never achieved the same widespread usage. Today, it has a distinctly vintage quality, occasionally experiencing small revivals among parents drawn to retro Americana names.
