Meaning and background
The story behind Loulou
Loulou has an especially direct dog connection in French. The Académie française's dictionary uses the word for a small, long-haired companion dog with upright ears, a pointed muzzle and a curled, bushy tail, giving the Pomeranian as an example. It also records a familiar term of affection and traces the word to a repeated form of loup. These are documented French word senses, separate from any family's use as a personal nickname.
