/ˈloʊlə/ noun

Definition

A common given name for females, often used as a standalone name or nickname for names like Dolores.

Etymology

Lola is derived from Spanish 'Dolores,' which comes from Latin 'dolor' (sorrow or pain). It became an independent name by the late 19th century, popularized through literature and entertainment.

Kelly Says

Lola became an icon in rock music thanks to The Kinks' 1970 song 'Lola'—a song so provocative that it was initially banned by British radio stations!
