History & Origin
Beula is the well-known biblical Beulah with its final h trimmed. The Hebrew be'ulah means 'married,' and in Isaiah it is a tender name for Israel restored and 'married' to God; John Bunyan later used 'the land of Beulah' for a place of peace, which helped carry the name into English-speaking families.
As a given name Beula belongs to the devout early twentieth century, peaking around the nineteen-twenties and fading by mid-century, always uncommon at only a few dozen births in its best year. It reads today as a soft, old-fashioned name of church and hymn.
