Piroska is a Hungarian feminine given name. Derived from the Latin name Prisca ("ancient"), the Hungarian form of the name originally appeared as Piriska, later developing into Piroska. This change was likely due to Piriska's similarity to the Hungarian name — and color — Piros ('red').[1]
The name is on the official list of Hungarian names managed by the Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.[2] Its diminutive form, or nickname, Piri,[2] has developed into a standalone name.[1]
The name day for Piroska and Piri is January 18.
