MEANING & HISTORY
What does Eula mean?
Eula is an English short form of Eulalia. The longer Greek name is built from elements associated with speaking well. The shortened form keeps that historical connection even though it no longer displays every part of Eulalia.
The name reference and the dictionary agree on this relationship. Eula is a complete recorded name in its own right; a person using it need not have Eulalia as another legal name.
