Hello to
everyone,
I'm new in this group, so I hope I send the email properly,
especially to Victor Hansen.
Victor, in catalan and spanish Eulalia is a version of the name
Eulalie in English, that comes from the greek name Eulalos, "well
spoken".
I don't know about the name meaning Victory in ancient norse, but
the resemblance is quite remarcable, even in english or greek.

Can someone tell me the meaning of this word (and a close idea of
its
pronounciation) ?

various battle-cries that might have been used in the Sagas also
that anyone knows of.
