Help[Opinions] Re: Eulalona
in reply to a message by New_Chloë
Is the etymology different than Eulalia? I'm uncertain of the pronounciation - my instinct is LOH-nuh but maybe it's LAH-nuh - also not entirely sure about the 1st syllable (it's yoo, not ew or oo, right?).
I don't like the sound much either way, though. It's plunky.

No, I don't think it has any relation to Eulalia, since it was the Indigenous name of the village. I'm trying to find etymology but so far I'm not finding anything.

Ok, I looked it up because I was curious. :)
According to klamathtribes.org, it means “All Along the Top” in Klamath.
And according to the wikipedia Klamath language page, it'd probably sound like yoo-luh-law-nuh, but there's more than one dialect and no fluent native speakers anymore, plus there's technically no U in their Klamath alphabet?? so hard to say.
It doesn't really seem namey to me.
Though now I sort of like the idea of Eulaluna or Eulalumi "sweetly speaking moon/light/snow". That sounds slightly more melodious to me and could seem a bit like Ulalume or Altaluna but sweeter.
Eta, combos because why not...

Nice research!
I actually didn't post the name of the park as a suggestion for a person, haha. But, nice combos!

Yeah, I figured. Brainstorming combos just helps me figure out what I like/dislike about names. I was sold on the plunky sound of Eulalona when I thought of it next to Lurline and Lotus. It sounds very watery to me...works fine for what it is.
