Meaning & origin
Lulabelle is a rare, charming confection that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1912. It reached its peak year in 1936, but never entered the national Top 1000. After decades of obscurity, the name began rising again since 2022, part of a quiet revival of vintage-sounding, double-barreled names. The name's 1-in-N ratio is not available due to its rarity, and it has never been common enough to rank in any specific state. Lulabelle's appeal lies in its sweet, melodic quality, blending two friendly nicknames into one distinctive given name.
Lulabelle is a modern coinage combining the names Lula and Belle. Lula is a diminutive of names like Louisa or Louise, while Belle is a French word meaning 'beautiful'. The name first appeared in U.S. records in the early 20th century, with a peak in the 1930s, and has seen a recent revival since 2022.
