Meaning & origin

Eulla is a rare American name first recorded in 1912, when it saw its peak usage. The name has never ranked among the top 1000 names, and its one-in-N statistic is effectively incalculable due to low frequency. Its trajectory has been stable but extremely low, with minimal revival in the 1910s. The name never appeared in any top state lists. Eulla likely emerged as a variant of Eula, a name that saw moderate popularity in the early 1900s. Despite its obscurity, Eulla carries a gentle, vintage sound that may appeal to parents seeking a truly unique name with a soft ending.

Eulla is a rare name that likely originated as a variant of Eula, which itself is a short form of Eulalia. Eulalia derives from the Greek word 'eulalos' meaning 'well-spoken.' The name Eulla appears sporadically in early 20th-century U.S. records, with its peak in 1912, and has since fallen out of common use.
