Prunella f
English: Latinate name, probably one of the names coined in the 19th century from vocabulary words for plants and flowers, in this case from a diminutive derived from Late Latin pruna plum. The name has enjoyed a minor vogue in the latter part of the 20th century, and is borne by two well-known English actresses, Prunella Scales and Prunella Gee.
Short forms: Prue, Pru.
