Saula is Hebrew in Origin.
Saula is a rare feminine given name most commonly read as a Romance feminization of the biblical Saul, from Hebrew Šāʾûl “asked for, prayed for.” It appears sporadically in Spanish-, Catalan-, and Portuguese-speaking contexts - formed on the model of masculine Saulo/Saúl and feminine pairs like Paulo/Paula - though usage has remained uncommon and often regional.
Documented examples surface in Iberian and Latin American parish registers from the 18th–20th centuries, with modest contemporary revival as an international, two-syllable choice. Variants and related forms include Saulita, Saulina, and Galician Sauliña; masculine counterparts are Saul, Saúl, Saulo, and Finnish Sauli, as well as Lithuanian Saulius. Saula is sometimes associated by sound with Baltic feminine names Saule (Latvian) and Saulė (Lithuanian), meaning “sun,” but these are etymologically distinct. Not to be confused with Arabic Shaula (the star λ Scorpii), which has a separate origin and meaning.
