Origins of the name Marilou: Marilou combines Maria and Luz.. It combines Maria, meaning 'beloved'or 'love, 'with Louise, a French form of Louis. Marilou signifies 'beloved' and is associated with strength, but the phrase 'renowned in battle' is not universally supported. Over time, Marilou has evolved in its usage, particularly in the Philippines where it often combines Maria with Lourdes. This blend reflects the cultural influence of French and local traditions. The name is important because it symbolizes love, and resilience, making it a popular choice for parents seeking a name that reflects these qualities.
