History & Origin

Lulabelle is a vintage American blend of Lula, a pet form of Louise or Louisa ('famous warrior'), and Belle, French for 'beautiful.' The -belle compound was a popular Southern and rural pattern in the early twentieth century.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 1935, and it faded to near-nothing by mid-century. A girl named Lulabelle then would be a great-grandmother today.

Did you know? Lulabelle has an old-time, front-porch ring to it, and it turns up as a stage and character name in early American entertainment - part of its homey, vaudeville-era charm.
