📖 Acerca de Priscilla
Priscilla es un nombre latino que significa 'antigua' o 'venerable,' derivado del vocablo romano 'priscus.' Adquirió prominencia temprana a través de una figura del Nuevo Testamento — Priscila de Roma — maestra y compañera de San Pablo. Popular entre los colonos puritanos en América colonial y de nuevo en los Estados Unidos a mediados del siglo XX, su uso ha disminuido gradualmente conservando una gracia atemporal.
