What is the meaning of the name Lallo ?

Lallo is Italian, Spanish in Origin.

Lallo is an Italian hypocoristic used chiefly in central and southern regions, formed as a warm, singsong pet name built on -all- and the diminutive echo -o. It most often shortens Raffaele/Raffaello (Raphael) and sometimes Eulalio or Aureliano, but can also serve as a stand-alone given name.

Because it is a nickname, its meaning follows the source name: from Raffaele it carries “God has healed,” while from Eulalio (Greek eu + lalein) it suggests “well-spoken.” The double-l spelling marks the Italian form; compare Spanish Lalo and Italian Lello, with feminine counterparts Lalla and Lella. Records show Lallo in parish registers from the 18th–19th centuries and in modern culture as a friendly stage name - most recognizably the composer Lallo Gori. Related surnames Lallo and Lalli attest to its long colloquial life. Compact, musical, and affectionate, Lallo fits smoothly across Romance languages.
