- A user from Spain says the name Laia is of Greek origin and means "Laia is a mix of 'Eu-lalos' (good speaker in old greek), that is actually in Catalan Eulalia. It is understood, that Laia comes from Eulalia. Nevertheless, as Eulalia is the patron saint of Barcelona, there is another theory. The iberians who lived in Barcelona before the Greeks arrived were the Laietans tribe. Their godess was Laie. So there is a theory that Laia was related to Eulalia to catolicize the name".
