History & Origin
Buelah is an American variant spelling of Beulah, a Hebrew name meaning 'married'. It comes from the Book of Isaiah, where Beulah is a poetic name for a restored, beloved Israel. Like many biblical names it spread through devout English-speaking families, and the Buelah spelling reflects how it was heard and written in early-century America.
It crested near sixty girls a year around 1927 and declined through mid-century as biblical place-names fell from fashion. A woman given it at its peak would be of the interwar generation, and it reads today as a firmly old-fashioned, church-rooted name with no modern revival.
