Etymology

19th-century variant of Lulu, nickname of Louisa and Lucy. In rare cases, shortened from Tallulah.

Proper noun

Lula

  1. A female given name.
    • 2015, Toni Morrison, God Help the Child, Chatto & Windus, →ISBN, page 11:
      But Lula Ann Bridewell is no longer available and she was never a woman. Lula Ann was a sixteen-year-old-me who dropped that dumb countrified name as soon as I left high school. I was Ann Bride for two years until I interviewed for a sales job at Sylvia, Inc., and, on a hunch, shortened my name to Bride, with nothing anybody needs to say before or after that memorable syllable.
  2. Short for Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
