What the Data Says About Lula

The Social Security Administration has registered 85,146 babies named Lula between 1880 and 2024, spanning 145 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Lula currently holds the #1949 rank among girls for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 1921, when 1,778 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Lula performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 16,317 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Lula shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Alabama, which accounts for 5,439 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Mississippi and Georgia. In total, SSA state-level files list Lula in 40 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Lula in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 85,146 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
