BALLU: A Name with a Story?.

Its common in some places but lacks a mythological or historical background like some other names. Many names become popular simply through use, without a traceable origin. This name probably fits that description. Its popularity might be due to its nice sound or positive feelings it evokes in certain cultures.

Description:

This name is linked to a mighty god, whose representative form is very popular. This god is closely related to another important figure in the same group of gods.

Its a simple name. You might see it spelled slightly differently, like Ballou, or hear similar-sounding names like Balu, but these arent official changes. Nicknames like "Bal" or "Lu" are possible, but less formal.
