History & Origin
Eulala is a trimmed form of Eulalia, the name of a young martyr venerated in Spain since late antiquity. The Greek pieces eu and lalein put the idea of good, sweet speech at its heart, and the name traveled through the church calendar into everyday use.
Eulala was never common, drawing only a couple dozen girls a year even at its high around 1921 and slipping away by mid-century. It reads today as a gentle, antique name; a girl called it then would be of a great-grandmother's generation now.
