What does Cilou mean?

Does anybody know the meaning? I’ve looked everywhere on the web and can’t find anything. Thank you in advance 🩷

Probably an invented name based on [name_f]Lilou[/name_f] and [name_f]Milou[/name_f].

Based on [name_f]Lilou[/name_f], [name_f]Milou[/name_f] and [name_f]Malou[/name_f], which can be either [name_u]French[/name_u] diminutives of [name_u]Lee[/name_u]- names, or, combinations of [name_f]Lili[/name_f]- and [name_u]Louise[/name_u] or Marie-Louise/Maria-Louise, I’d assume [name_f]Cilou[/name_f] could mean:

Cecile-Louise or Cecily-Louise → blind, famous in battle/famous warrior - so it could be something like famous for going blindly into battle, or blind warrior?

Celine-Louise / Celia-Louise → heavenly, famous warrior/famous in battle - so, famous heavenly warrior?

Clarisse-Louise → clear/bright, famous warrior

Cynthia-Louise → moon goddess/woman for Kynthos - famous warrior woman from Kynthos or warrior moon goddess?

It’s a [name_u]French[/name_u] diminutive of [name_f]Cécile[/name_f]. It’s analogous with something like [name_f]Cece[/name_f] in [name_f]English[/name_f]. It doesn’t really mean anything in a literal sense though.
