Lilou is a French female given name that has been rising in popularity in France. Lilou is a diminutive of names like Lily and can also be seen as a combination of Lily and Louise, but it may have other origins as well. The name has its roots in Occitan, a language spoken in Provence, where the suffix "ou" denotes a pet form. Lilou is pronounced as "lee-LOO" and signifies the beauty and tenderness of lilies. Its popularity in France can be attributed to its use in the 1997 film *The Fifth Element*, where Milla Jovovich played the character Leeloo, which might have influenced its use. Lilou is a charming and unique name that conveys strength and beauty.
