Meaning & origin
Lulla is a rare and delicate name that saw its peak in the 1890s, particularly in 1891. With no recent recorded births in the Social Security data, it remains a true vintage find. The name has never ranked in the top 1000, indicating its consistent rarity. Its peak year (1891) suggests it was a brief fashion during the late Victorian era. The trajectory has been stable but at extremely low usage, making Lulla a distinctive choice for those drawn to overlooked antique names.
Lulla is a short form or nickname from names like Louise, Louisa, or Lucy. It appears in the late 19th century as a given name, particularly in the 1890s. The name may also be a variant of Lulu, another diminutive for names starting with 'Lu'.
