Lala
la-la
US Popularity:13308
Origin:Bulgarian
Meaning:Tulip; Laurel
Sweet, whimsical, and utterly unique, the girl's name Lala comes from the Bulgarian language. The word it stems from, lale, has Persian origins, so Lala is like a flower with multi-colored petals. Translating to "tulip," Lala will encourage your tiny tot to stop and appreciate every joyful moment and exciting new experience. This moniker can also be a nickname for Laura, a Latin title meaning "laurel," so Lala's nature connections just keep blooming! Though Laa-Laa of Teletubbies fame has a different name spelling, sweet Lala might still adore the yellow character that shares their name. Lala may remind you of American actress La La Anthony and reality star Lala Kent, both known for their style, talent, and work in film and television. And let's not forget the jazzy musical film La La Land, starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.
