Meaning and history

Eulália is derived from Greek εὔλαλος (eulalos), meaning “sweetly-speaking,” from εὖ (eu), “good,” and λαλέω (laleo), “to talk.” It was the name of an early 4th-century saint and martyr from Mérida in Spain, and of another martyr from the same period who is a patron saint of Barcelona; the two may in fact be the same person.
