Marilu

Meaning of Marilu

Marilu finds its roots in the sweet fusion of Maria and Lu—think the timeless devotion of “Mary” woven together with the bright spark of “Louise” (or the Italian-Spanish Luisa). When you say MAR-ih-loo, it rolls off the tongue like a morning melody, conjuring sunlit gardens and open-hearted laughter. Though delightfully uncommon—nestled in the lower hundreds of U.S. name charts—it offers a fresh, distinctive choice that feels both classic and modern. Often associated with creativity, warmth and a touch of fearless curiosity (just ask actress Marilu Henner), it carries an effortless confidence. In the unfolding story of your little one’s life, Marilu can be that inspiring refrain—gentle, memorable and full of promise.
