Eulalie
A girl's name of Greek origin with 763 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
A female given name from Ancient Greek.
Eulalie is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, from the Greek eulalos meaning 'well-spoken,' 'sweet-voiced,' or 'eloquent.' Saint Eulalia of Barcelona and Saint Eulalia of Mérida were two early Christian martyrs of Spain — making the name deeply embedded in Spanish Catholic heritage. Edgar Allan Poe also used the name in his poem Eulalie.
With over 760 births in SSA records, Eulalie is a name with both classical and literary credentials — rare, beautiful, and carrying the sweetness of its 'sweet-voiced' meaning.
EtymologyShow more
Eulalie first shows up in U.S. Social Security records in 1885. Names present in the earliest SSA data (which begins in 1880) were typically carried by immigrants from Europe, handed down through families, or drawn from biblical and classical sources.
Its Greek classification suggests a path from greek linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
