Petronilla
Petronilla is a Late Latin feminine given name. The name is a diminutive form of Petronia, itself the feminine form of Petronius, a Roman family name. Saint Petronilla is an early Roman saint, later interpreted as the daughter of Saint Peter. She became the patron saint of the Frankish kings, and her chapel became the burial place for French kings. The derived form Petronella, later changed to Pieternella, has been popular in the Netherlands since the Middle Ages, perhaps due to Gertrude, Countess of Holland, adopting this name around 1100. an explanation at the |
Saint Petronilla
Petronilla (Aurelia Petronilla) is an early Christian saint. She was venerated as a virgin martyr by the Catholic Church. She died in Rome at the end of the 1st century, or possibly in the 3rd century. Identity Petronilla is traditionally identified as the daughter of Peter, though this may stem simply from the similarity of names. It is believed she may have been a convert of Peter (and thus a "spiritual daughter"), or a follower or servant. It is said that Peter cured her of palsy. Roman inscriptions, however, identify her simply as a martyr. She may have been related to Domitilla. Stories associated with her include those that relate that she was so beautiful that Peter had locked her up in a tower to keep her from eligible men; that a pagan king named Flaccus, wishing to marry her, led Petronilla to go on a hunger strike, from which she died. In the 4th-century Roman catalogue of martyrs' feasts, which is used in the ''Martyrologium Hieronymianum'', her name seems not ...
