Wiktionary derives Eulalia from Greek Eulalia, glossed as sweetly speaking, which confirms the existing meaning; it notes the name belonged to early Spanish saints and lists Eulalie, Olalla, and Olaya as cognates. A separate Wiktionary entry for a plant genus also called Eulalia is an unrelated botanical use and is disregarded here.
the history of Eulalia
Wiktionary confirms early Spanish saints bore the name, though it doesn't give the specific 4th-century Barcelona martyr detail given elsewhere, so that attribution isn't confirmed by anything found here. The only other retrieved source is the children's novel Eulalia! in the Redwall series, where the word is used as a fictional war cry translated there as victory — a fictional usage unrelated to the name's real derivation.
