Lula is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
Lula is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,701 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,700 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. In the entire USA, approximately 52,818 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Lula. That is 0.02 % of all living Americans.
Appearing throughout the time in the United States, the name Lula is a staple in the country: Girls have been given the name Lula for more than 140 years, according to official U.S. naming statistics. Lula is therefore one of the 432 girls’ names that have been given every year since 1880. Even beyond that, Lula is a very special name that peaked in popularity over 100 years ago in the 19th century, ranking in the top 100 girls' names in our SmartGenius first name statistics: With #36 Lula has never been more popular than back in 1881.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Lula was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As many as 98 babies were named Lula in the USA in 2022, ranking it #1,788 on the list of the most popular girls' names for that year. However, it experienced its lowest point of popularity in 1996, when it was only ranked #10,513 of all female names in our SmartGenius statistics – back then only 6 girls were named Lula.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names – 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A and S.
With four letters, the name Lula is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with an L, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. If you are now wondering which girls' name with L is the most common... the answer is Linda.
If your name is Lula and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
