Prisca Fishnet

Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Priscilla is a young English girl name adopted by the Roman Priscilla, who comes from the Latin Priscus (old). [1] A proposal is that it intends to grant a long life on the wearer. It appears in the New Testament in the Christian Bible, alternating as Priscilla, and Prisca. [2] The name appears in English literature at Edmund Spenser The Faerie Queen (1596) and has been adopted as an English name by the Puritans in the 17th century. The use of this name began to decline in the 1960s, probably due to association with the Prissy slang term, literally or prudish. [3] diminutive forms of names, Cilla Price, Prissy, pril and Scilla. Pussy is also a diminutive, but fell out of general use.
