Lulah is English in Origin.
Lulah is an English diminutive used as a breezy pet form of several names. Most commonly it stems from Lula - short for Louise or Louisa (from Germanic elements meaning “famous battle”) - or from Lucy (Latin lux, “light”). It can also be a clipped nickname for Tallulah, linked either to Choctaw (often glossed as “leaping water”) or to the Irish Talulla, from Old Irish elements for “abundance” + “ruler/lady.” Accordingly, Lulah carries layered meanings ranging from “famous in battle” or “light” to “leaping water” or “abundant lady.”
As an independent given name, Lulah appears in late Victorian and early 20th‑century records in the United States and Britain, paralleling the vogue for Lula, and today fits the revival of vintage, two‑syllable nicknames. Variants and related forms include Lula, Tallulah, Talulla, Lulu, Lou, and Loulou; cognates upstream are Louise, Louisa, Luisa, Lucy, Lucia, and Luísa.
