Prescillia

Prescillia is a modern French elaborated spelling of the Latin name Priscilla, a diminutive of the ancient Roman family name Prisca, derived from the Latin word priscus meaning old or ancient. The classical form Priscilla appears in the New Testament as the name of an early Christian woman, a companion of the apostle Paul, which helped establish the name across the Christian world. The added letters in Prescillia reflect a French orthographic fashion for embellishing traditional names while preserving their sound. Related forms include Priscilla, Prisca, and Priscille.
