It also stands independently in some traditions, notably as a name of Arabic origin meaning "pearl." One of its most celebrated bearers is Lula Mae Hardaway, the American songwriter who collaborated with her son Stevie Wonder on classics like "Signed, Sealed, Delivered." In the world of dance, Lula Washington is a pioneering choreographer and founder of the Lula Washington Dance Theatre in Los Angeles. The name has a playful, vintage charm that feels both affectionate and strong, and it shares an easy kinship with the more widely used Lulu.
