What does Lola mean?
/ˈloʊlə/2 syllablesOrigin: Spanish

Lola began as a Spanish pet form of Dolores, itself short for Maria de los Dolores, "Mary of the Sorrows," a title referring to the grief of the Virgin Mary. Over time Lola grew into a bold, independent name in its own right, far removed from its solemn origins.

Lola has a sassy, glamorous ring to it that suits a pet with confidence to spare. It's a name that sounds like it knows exactly how good it looks.
