Meaning & Origin of Drusilla
Origin: Latin (from the Roman cognomen Drusus).
A common claim: Widely claimed to mean 'strong' (as a form of Drusus) Actually: Drusus's own etymology is unresolved; ancient legend ties it to a Gallic personal name rather than a word meaning 'strong,' so the 'strong' gloss is folk etymology.
