BSN: AQUILA AND PRISCA/PRISCILLA

A married Jewish couple who lived in Rome, helped Paul start the church at Corinth, moved to Ephesus, counseled Apollos on his teaching, and had a church in their home.
Like Paul, their trade was tent-making.
All together, Aquila and Prisca are mentioned by name six times in the New Testament: Act 18:2, 18, 26; Rom 16:3; 1 Cor 16:19; 2 Tim 4:19.
Their names are always mentioned in tandem.
Two times his name comes first; in the other four, hers comes first.
His name is always rendered “Aquila.”
Hers appears as “Priscilla” three times and as “Prisca” three times. Priscilla and Prisca are different forms of the same name, in the same way that Maggie and Margaret, or Betty and Elizabeth, are different forms of the same name. Other New Testament examples of variations on a name include Silas and Silvanus. Also, Jude, Judas, and Judah are all the versions of the same name.
