Lolita was originally just a girls name of Spanish origin, derived from 'Lola'.

In 1955, Vladimir Nabokov wrote a novel with the title and main character named as such, and it became more well-known. Unfortunately, the book was known for the sexual relationship between an older man and a twelve year old girl, and so Lolita became a slang term for a very young (12-14) sexual or seductive girl (it's very cute acutally)

However, 'Gothic Lolita' is also a broad fashion style inspired in Japan started by a performer MANA, but it is quite far from the term. The Lolita fashion is based around rococo and early Victorian styled dress. The fashion is actually very conservative and not sexual at all. Gothic Lolita can be found all over the world, and has a very diverse fan base.

There is a branch of Lolita fashion, called 'Ero-Loli', which is supposed to be more sexually aimed.

In the UK, there was a furniture brand recalled because of the name 'Lolita' and its relations to the book. The most well-known recall was of a bed for children, which was recalled because of angry parents. ,
