Meaning & History
Three theories exist on the origin of the name: it could come from procul ("far"), with the addition of the suffix -us, thus "whose father is distant"; from procus ("wooer, suiter"; also means "prince" in Old Latin); or as a diminutive form of Proca, borne by a king of Alba Longa. This name was borne by several figures in Roman history, as well as four saints.
