Meaning & History
Latinized form of the Greek name Πρόκρις (Prokris), which is possibly derived from Ancient Greek προκρίνω (prokrino) meaning "to choose before others, prefer, select". Procris was a daughter of Erechtheus, king of Athens, and wife of prince Cephalus, who accidently killed her during the hunt.
