Beulah Vad efternamn betyder
African American and Indian (Kerala): from a Biblical Hebrew female personal name applied to the land of Israel in Isaiah 6 ‘Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah [which means ‘delight’] and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee and thy land shall be married.’ The Hebrew word beulah means ‘married’ but this quotation was sometimes interpreted as referring to heaven or a state of bliss. — Note: Since South Indians traditionally do not have hereditary surnames the southern Indian name was in most cases registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US.
