Precilla is Latin in Origin.

Precilla is a modern regional spelling of Priscilla/Priscila, a name rooted in the Latin Prisca, from priscus, "ancient, venerable." It entered Christian tradition through the New Testament figure Priscilla (also called Prisca), the learned co-worker of the apostle Paul and wife of Aquila, and through several Roman martyrs named Prisca. Adopted across the Roman world, the name resurfaced in English after the Reformation and enjoyed use among 17th-century Puritans and in colonial America.

Variant forms include Priscilla (English/Italian), Priscila (Spanish/Portuguese), Prisca, and less common spellings such as Prescilla, Pricilla, and Precila; Precilla appears especially in the Philippines and some South Asian Christian communities under Iberian influence. Diminutives and nicknames range from Cilla/Scilla to Prissy and Sila. The meaning "ancient, venerable" is often taken to suggest enduring grace, maturity, or timeless wisdom. Though uncommon, Precilla remains readily understood as a stylistic twist on the traditional Priscilla.
