Word Origin: A diminutive form of the Latin name Prisca, meaning "ancient" or "venerable." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Priscilla, as it is a Latin name. However, the concept of hospitality and teaching can be linked to various Hebrew terms related to those practices. Usage: Priscilla is a prominent female figure in the New Testament, often mentioned alongside her husband, Aquila. She is recognized for her role in the early Christian church as a teacher and supporter of Paul the Apostle. Her name appears in the context of hospitality, teaching, and missionary work. Cultural and Historical Background: Priscilla lived during the first century A.D. and was a Jewish Christian. She and her husband, Aquila, were tentmakers by trade, a profession they shared with Paul. They were expelled from Rome by the edict of Emperor Claudius and settled in Corinth, where they met Paul. Priscilla and Aquila were instrumental in the early church, hosting a house church and instructing Apollos, an eloquent preacher, in the way of God more accurately (Acts 18:26).
