According to Wiktionary, bulla is Latin for "seal", especially for an official document, further descended from bulla meaning swollen or bubble-shaped (the seal being swollen or bubble shaped). Because the seal isn't as important as the document itself, the meaning then shifts to "a papal bull or other official document sealed with a bulla".
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bulla#Latin (Latin, Noun, sense 3)
BULLA76 would thus mean "Declaration of 1776".
