History & Origin

Princella most likely began as an elaboration of Priscilla, from the Latin Priscus, 'ancient, venerable,' though its Prince- opening also suggests a coined regal name. It appears mostly in early-to-mid twentieth-century records.

Princella was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1942, and it stays rare. It has the ornate, three-beat ring of Marcella and Priscilla.
