Eulalia
f.
Ancient Greek εὖ 'good, well' + Ancient Greek λαλιά 'speech, form of talking, dialect'.
The name of two 4th C Spanish martyrs (who may possibly be identical with each other).
Cf. also Hilaria; these two names shared many spellings in medieval England, and are thus often impossible to distinguish in some contexts.
