History & Origin
Porshe is a phonetic spelling of Portia, a name carried by Shakespeare's heroine in The Merchant of Venice and rooted in the Roman family name Porcius. The respelling deliberately mirrors the Porsche marque, giving the classical name a sleek, contemporary gloss.
It belonged to the brand-glamour naming fashion of the late twentieth century and always stayed rare. It reads as a name firmly of its era rather than a returning classic, and the audio uses the respelling so the -she ending is not misread.
