Meaning & origin
Lular is a rare American given name that first appeared in Social Security records in 1880. Its usage peaked in 1886 at about 5 per million births, after which it declined but remained steady at very low levels through its latest recorded year in 2025. The name has never ranked in the top 1000, and its origins are unclear. It may be a variant of Lula, itself a diminutive of names like Louise or Tallulah, but no definitive etymology has been established. Lular has no known top states of usage, as it has never been common enough to register regionally. Due to its rarity and uncertain derivation, the name remains something of a curiosity in American naming history.
Lular appears to be a modern spelling variation of the name Lula, which itself originated as a pet form of names like Louise or Tallulah. It first appeared in U.S. records in the 1880s but never gained widespread use. Its usage has remained extremely rare and steady, with a peak in 1886 of only 5 births per million babies.
