History & Origin

Eudelia is a rare name most often connected to Odelia, with an opening eu- that recalls the Greek for 'good, well.' Odelia carries both a Germanic sense, 'wealth,' and a Hebrew one, 'I will praise God.' Eudelia keeps the graceful sound of that family while remaining hard to pin to a single fixed source.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year around its peak near 1934, and it faded by late century.

Did you know? The Greek prefix eu-, 'good,' colors names like Eugenia and Eulalia; Eudelia borrows that bright opening for an Odelia-like name.
