Meaning & origin
Eulalie is a name of Greek origin meaning 'sweet-spoken.' It first appeared in U.S. records in 1885 and reached its peak in 1893, when it was most popular. Since then, its use has steadily declined, and by 2020 it entered a falling trajectory. Although no top states are recorded for the name, its historical association with the early 20th century gives it a vintage charm. The name has never been common in modern times, with an extremely low one-in-N rate, and it remains a rare choice today.
Eulalie is derived from the Greek elements 'eu' meaning 'good' and 'lalein' meaning 'to speak,' thus 'sweet-spoken' or 'well-spoken.' The name was borne by a 4th-century Spanish virgin martyr, Saint Eulalia of Mérida, which contributed to its historical use in Christian contexts. It enjoyed modest popularity in the English-speaking world in the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the United States where it reached its peak rank in 1893.
