Priscille

Priscille is the French form of the Latin name Priscilla, a diminutive of the Roman family name Prisca, itself derived from the Latin adjective priscus meaning ancient or venerable. The name was borne by a prominent early Christian woman mentioned in the New Testament, a companion of Saint Paul, which helped establish it across the Christian world. Priscilla and Prisca are the principal cognates found in English, Italian, and other European traditions.
