I'm not bored by the name trivia yet so there's more


Info sourced from here.

DRUSILLA
Gender: Feminine
Usage: Biblical, Ancient Roman
Feminine pet form of the Roman family name Drusus. Apparently the name Drusus was first assumed by a Roman warrior who killed a Gallic chieftain named Drausus in single combat. Drausus possibly derives from a Celtic element meaning "strong". In Acts in the New Testament Drusilla is the wife of Felix.

One of the most popular characters on the American soap opera, "The Young and The Restless" (rated top) is a woman named Drusilla, usually called Dru. She's been on the show on and off for about 15 years. Did you try just 'Dru' for the popularity statistics? BTW, she's nothing like Buffy's Drusilla, although she can certainly speak her mind from clips I've seen - haven't watched the show for many, many years.

The only place I knew the name Drusilla from before the show was Caligula's (3rd Roman Emperor) sister. I'll try Dru for the next name.
