Kelula (keh-LOO-lah) is a modern given name shaped in English-speaking circles as a lyrical blend. It likely marries the fashionable ke- opening with Lula, a vintage nickname for Louise or Lucille; through these roots it can borrow senses such as “renowned warrior” (Louise) or “light” (Lucille). The form also echoes Hebrew Kelila/Kelilah, meaning “crown, laurel, completeness,” an association some parents cite, though Kelula itself is not a traditional Hebrew name.

Documented usage is recent and rare, appearing from the late twentieth century onward and remaining chiefly feminine. Parents favor it for its gentle vowels, familiar core, and distinct profile. Variants and near-forms include Kelulah, Kelila, Kalila, and creative spellings like Keloola; Lula or Lulu serve as easy diminutives, with Kelu and Kella as modern nicknames. Related names to consider are Luella, Tallulah, and Elula.
