History & Origin

Eulamae is a compound of Eula, a short form of the Greek Eulalia ('sweet-speaking'), and Mae, the springtime name long used as a pet form of Mary. Double given names of this kind were a hallmark of the early-twentieth-century American South.

It was never a common name, given to only about fifteen girls a year around its peak in the early nineteen-twenties, and it had faded from the records by the nineteen-thirties. A girl named Eulamae then would sit with the great-grandparent generation today.

Did you know? The two halves each stood alone as popular names of the era, so a girl called Eulamae effectively carried a double dose of turn-of-the-century Southern fashion in a single name.
