About Luann
Luann is a feminine name that emerged as a combination of the names Lou and Ann, or as a variation of Luana. It gained notable popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1940s-1960s. The name has English origins, with 'Lu' possibly derived from Louise (meaning 'renowned warrior') or Lucia ('light'), while 'Ann' comes from Hannah, meaning 'grace.' Luann projects a friendly, approachable quality with its short, melodic sound. The name experienced a decline in usage from the 1970s onward but maintains cultural recognition through characters in popular media, including the long-running comic strip and animated series 'King of the Hill.'
Luann is also given to boys.
Pronounced LOO-an.
As of October 2026, Luann ranked #12654 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #192 in 1954.
