Eula
“Eula is an English feminine given name, a shortened form of Eulalia, derived from the Greek eulalia meaning "well-spoken" or "sweetly speaking," from eu (well, good) and lalein (to speak). Saint Eulalia of Mérida was a fourth-century Spanish martyr, and the name saw particular use in the American South during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.”
Dorothy
“Dorothy is the English form of the Greek Dorothea, composed of doron (gift) and theos (God) — thus "gift of God." It is essentially the same name as Theodora with the elements reversed. The name has been in use since the 15th century and became one of the most beloved American names of the early twentieth century, immortalized by L. Frank Baum's Dorothy Gale.”
