Meaning & origin
Eulala is a rare and distinctive name that first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1893, a relatively late start compared to other vintage names. Though its meaning is uncertain, it is widely considered a variant of Eulalia. The name reached its highest recorded usage in 1902, with a small but steady number of births throughout the early 1900s. Since then, the name's trajectory has been stable but extremely low, with no evidence of a revival in recent years. It did not appear in the top states, indicating its usage was geographically sparse. In 2025, it remained unranked, reinforcing its status as a true rarity. While no famous bearers exist, the name has a gentle, lyrical quality that may appeal to parents seeking an unusual vintage option.
