Pronunciation
Spanish: /eu̯ˈlalja/; stress on la
Well-spoken; eloquent
Eulalia is a feminine name of Greek origin meaning “well-spoken” or “eloquent”. Eulalie is the French form of the same name, while Catalan uses Eulàlia, with an accent on the a. The name also has a lasting Christian connection: Barcelona Cathedral houses a crypt dedicated to Saint Eulalia. In Spanish, the stress falls on la: /eu̯ˈlalja/. The opening e glides towards u, and the final lia flows together. The two l sounds give Eulalia a lilting, almost songlike quality; to the ear, its elaborate written shape can feel surprisingly light.
Etymology: From Greek eulalos, “well-spoken”, built from eu, “well”, and a root meaning “to speak”. Eulalia is an established Spanish form.
