Lilo (name)

Lilo is a feminine given name, primarily of Hawaiian origin. It is often understood to mean "generous" or "lost" in Hawaiian.

The name gained increased popularity following the release of Disney's animated film Lilo & Stitch (2002), where Lilo Pelekai is one of the two main characters. The character Lilo is portrayed as a young Hawaiian girl.

Prior to the film, Lilo was a relatively uncommon name. Its usage has since become more widespread, particularly in Western countries, likely influenced by the positive depiction of the character in the film.

The name Lilo can also appear as a short form or nickname for longer names, although this is less common than its use as a standalone given name.
