Ilulu is Japanese in Origin.
Ilulu is a modern fictional name in Japanese media, with its earliest known form as the katakana spelling イルル, read Iruru in Hepburn-style romanization. Katakana gives the syllables i-ru-ru; because Japanese /r/ is a single liquid sound between English r and l, the official English form Ilulu uses l where a direct romanization would show r. It is not a traditional Japanese lexical name, and no literal meaning is established.
The name is chiefly associated with Ilulu, a female dragon character in Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, created in a Japanese manga and later adapted into anime. Its usage outside that franchise appears to be modern and referential rather than inherited from older naming practice. Iruru is a closer romanization of イルル, while Ilulu reflects the licensed English rendering; neither has a separate religious, literary, or regional tradition beyond the character.
