Meaning and history

This name is derived from Greek εὔλαλος (eulalos) meaning "sweetly-speaking", itself from εὖ ( eu ) meaning "good" and λαλέω ( laleo ) meaning "to talk". This was the name of an early 4th-century saint and martyr from Mérida in Spain. Another martyr by this name, living at the same time, is a patron saint of Barcelona. These two saints might be the same person.
