History & Origin
Beaulah is a spelling of Beulah, from the Hebrew for 'married.' The prophet Isaiah calls the restored land of Israel 'Beulah,' and the name entered English use through the Bible. The beau- spelling seen here nods to the French beau, 'beautiful,' a common ornamental touch a century ago.
Beaulah, like Beulah, was most common in the early nineteen-hundreds, cresting around 1921, and had faded by the nineteen-seventies. A girl named Beaulah at the peak would be about a century old today. It is a genuine antique and has not joined the recent vintage revival.
