I have used this name in the current novel I am writing as the name of an ancestress of my main character. I stumbled upon this name when looking for rare looking older names for this current novel. I absolutely love the meanings. Also I maid Eulalia’s child Merida *see on list of posts* which has a connection if you google it. Since this has a long history and did become popular amongst English speakers this would do well in many different genres, eras, and for many different reasons.

I have used it in a seemingly historical setting only to show later it really is a science-fantasy novel. So it is up to the author to play around and choose where they want this name to fit, with its look it is very diverse.
