About Lulah
Lulah is a charming feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant of Lula, which itself could be a diminutive of Louise (meaning "renowned warrior") or Talullah (meaning "leaping water" in Native American Choctaw language). Alternatively, it might connect to Arabic origins where similar names mean "pearl." Lulah has a delicate, vintage quality that evokes the early 20th century when similar names were more common. Though relatively rare in contemporary usage, it fits with the trend toward reviving gentle, old-fashioned names with a melodic quality. The name carries a sweet, Southern charm and musical resonance with its repeated 'l' sound.
Pronounced LOO-luh.
As of October 2026, Lulah ranked #17145 in US births in 2018 SSA, peaked at #935 in 1889.
