The name Luël is of African origin, specifically from the Ewondo people who live in Cameroon. It is derived from the Ewondo word "lu" which means "to come".
According to Ewondo tradition, Luël was originally a title given to the youngest child in a family, regardless of gender. However, over time, it has become more commonly used as a name for boys.
The meaning behind Luël is not well-documented, but it is believed to represent hope and expectation, as it signifies the arrival of something new or the coming of a new era.
In the Ewondo culture, names often have significant meanings and are chosen based on the circumstances surrounding the birth of a child. Therefore, naming a child Luël was traditionally seen as a way to express anticipation for what the future holds for that child.
Today, Luël is not a widely known name outside of Africa, but it continues to be used among Ewondo families and has gained some popularity in other parts of Africa as well. Despite its unique origin and meaning, Luël remains a relatively rare name even within the Ewondo community.
Luel is quite rare, with only two instances recorded - both recently, one in each of these past two years.
