Origin: Spanish

Meaning: Of Eulàlia; Well-spoken; Sweet-speaking

Derived from the Catalan Eulàlia, Laia is a sweet-sounding moniker that’s bound to be fond of with all those in baby’s life. In 4th-century Spain, there are records of two women bearing part of this name: Eulàlia of Mérida and Saint Eulàlia, the patron saint of Barcelona. Even though sources point to these two women being one, Eulàlia and its variants, like Laia, remain popular among Catholic communities in Spain. Laia means "well-spoken" or "sweet speaking" in Greek, coming from eu and laléō. With Laia, your little one's every word will hang in the air with a meaningful and angelic presence.
