Meaning & origin

Beola is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1909. Its origin is uncertain; it may be a spelling variant of Beulah, a Hebrew name meaning 'married,' or simply a creative coinage from the early 1900s. The name's only recorded peak year was 1909, after which it fell out of regular use. Beola fits a pattern of similar-sounding names popular in that era, such as Leola and Theola. With no recorded births in recent decades, Beola remains an obscure historical curiosity rather than a modern choice.

The name Beola first appeared in U.S. records in 1909. It may be a respelling or diminutive of Beulah, a biblical name meaning 'married' in Hebrew, or a creative combination of sounds. No established etymology connects it to any traditional language or culture. Its use has been extremely rare, confined mostly to the early 20th century.
