Triscilla is an infrequently encountered female given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name Trisciulus. The name was borne by a few early Christian martyrs, including Saint Triscilla, who was executed in 304 AD during the Diocletian persecution. In some instances, Triscilla may also be considered a variant spelling of the more common names Tristis or Trista. Despite its rare usage today, Triscilla has an appealing vintage charm and offers a unique option for parents seeking a distinctive name for their child.
Triscilla was a unique name choice in 1991 with only seven babies being named so that year.
