The lyrical name in the 1847 poem "Ulalume" by Edgar Allan Poe was pronounced by some of Poe's contemporaries as "YOO-lah-loom", but others have suggested "OO-lah-loom" sounds better with the rhyming scheme. The derivation may be from the Latin ululare (howl, shriek), or from a variation on the name "Eulalie" (YOO-lah-lee) from his 1845 poem.
