The Story of Druzella
Druzella is a variant of Drusilla, a Latinized form of the Germanic name Drusus, which itself derives from a Gaulish personal name of uncertain meaning, possibly related to the word for strong. The Roman Drusus family was prominent during the late Republic and early Empire. Drusilla was the name of several Roman women of high rank, including a daughter of Herod Agrippa I mentioned in the New Testament.
Druzella is an exceptionally rare variant that appeared in American records primarily in the 19th century. It represents the Victorian taste for elaborate, uncommon names with classical or biblical roots. Today it is a genuine antique name that would turn heads.
The name Drusilla appears in the New Testament Book of Acts (24:24) as the wife of the Roman governor Felix. Several notable women in the Roman imperial family bore this name, including a sister of Emperor Caligula who was deified after her death.
