Carollou is a unique and distinctive given name of French origin, derived from the male name Carolus, which means "freeholder" or "strong". The name Carollou was popularized by author George Sand in her novel 'Indiana', where she used it as the protagonist's childhood nickname. It has since been adopted as an independent given name for girls. In English-speaking countries, Carollou is often pronounced as /kærəˈluː/, with emphasis on the second syllable and rhyming with 'pillow'. It offers a charming and uncommon alternative to more traditional names like Carol or Carole.
