"Priscilla" is the diminutive form of "Prisca", literally, it means "little Prisca." Her name, Prisca, or Priscilla, is a name that comes from a high-ranking Roman family. There are records that indicate that this was a woman from the patrician class, which was the nobility in Rome.

She is known as the wife of Aquila (Acts 18:2), who is never mentioned without her. Her name sometimes takes the precedence of his (Rom 16:3; 2 Tim 4:19). She took part with Aquila in instructing Apollos (Acts 18:26).
