What does Lulu mean?
/ˈluːluː/2 syllablesOrigin: Chinese and Arabic

Lulu traces to the Arabic word luluu, meaning "pearl," and has also been used independently as a given name in Chinese-speaking communities. In the West it often serves as an affectionate, double-syllable nickname in its own right.

Lulu has a bubbly, musical sound, light and a little playful, like it's made for calling out across a park. It suits a small, lively companion with a big personality.
