Eulala
A girl's name of Greek origin with 403 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
At 6 letters and three syllables, Eulala hits the middle ground most parents look for: long enough to feel complete, short enough for everyday use. It has been used as a girl's name in the U.S. since 1893, with 403 total recorded births.
Eulala is not in the current top 1,000, which means your child is unlikely to share the name with a classmate — a plus for parents who value distinctiveness.
Eulala is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Eulala is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, a variant of Eulalia, from the Greek Eulalia meaning 'sweet-speaking' or 'well-spoken,' from eu (good, well) and lalos (speech, talkative).
Saint Eulalia of Mérida was a beloved early Christian martyr, and the name was popular in medieval Spain and France. Eulala strips the name to its most minimal form — four syllables of classical Greek elegance that feels both antique and surprisingly wearable today.
