Origin and meaning of Lola
Lola began in Spain as an affectionate diminutive of Dolores, a Marian name recalling Our Lady of Sorrows. Short, rhythmic and sunny, it has taken on a full life of its own as a standalone name. It is very popular in Spain and France and, in recent years, has spread through the English-speaking world too, liked for its liveliness and simplicity. Its playful sound and double 'l' make it musical in almost any language.
