Lola

Lola is a feminine given name in Spanish, Romance languages, and other language groups. It is a short form of the Spanish name Dolores, meaning "sorrows", taken from one of the titles of the Virgin Mary: Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, or Our Lady of Sorrows. The term Lola is used as an affectionate or honorific term for an elderly woman (a grandmother) in the Philippines. (Synonyms include; lola, impo, lelang, mamang). This is used coinciding with the male honorofic of Lolo (Syn.; lolo, apo, lelong, tatang). Lola is also a short form of the unrelated German name Aloisia and a hypocorism of Lolita, in particular in Russian.
