Pricilla

Meaning of Pricilla

Pricilla (prih-SIL-uh / prɪˈsɪlə /) hails from the Latin priscus, meaning “ancient” or “venerable,” carrying echoes of the early Christian matron famed for her courage and devotion. Although it currently sits at #944 on the U.S. charts—bestowed on just six baby girls in 2024—this gentle, lilting name unfolds like a hidden treasure, offering warm familiarity and a quiet wink to vintage charm. Perfect for parents seeking a classic silhouette with its own distinct identity, Pricilla invites a whisper of history into modern times, promising a moniker that feels both time-honored and refreshingly individual—as if an old friend were enjoying her very own low-key comeback tour.
