The Story of Eulalia
Eulalia comes from the Greek words 'eu' (well, good) and 'lalos' (talkative, speaking), literally meaning 'sweetly speaking' or 'well-spoken.' The name was borne by a young Christian martyr from Mérida, Spain who died around 304 CE during the Diocletianic persecution. Her bravery made her one of the most beloved saints in early Iberian Christianity.
Eulalia remains in active use in Spain and Catalonia, particularly as a traditional name honoring Santa Eulàlia, the patron saint of Barcelona. In English-speaking countries it has the rarified quality of an undiscovered gem.
Santa Eulàlia de Barcelona is one of the patron saints of the Catalan capital, and her feast day on February 12 is celebrated with traditional festivals. The magnificent crypt beneath Barcelona's Gothic Cathedral holds her remains.
