Priscilla comes from the Latin priscus, meaning "ancient" or "venerable." In the New Testament, Priscilla (often called Prisca) was a tentmaker and missionary who, with her husband Aquila, hosted Saint Paul.
Priscilla peaked at #127 in the U.S. in 1940. Priscilla Presley (born 1945), wife of Elvis, is the most famous 20th-century bearer. Today Priscilla is returning slowly — currently in the U.S. top 500.
Priscilla reduces to three — the number of ancient grace.
