Prunella's Notebook is a lined journal with one name on the cover, hers. The name sits in flowing script above a soft pink watercolor apple blossom design.
Behind the Name says Prunella comes from the English word for a type of flower, also called self-heal, which ultimately derives from the Latin pruna, “plum.” Wikipedia agrees that the name is derived from the Latin for plum. It lists the name as feminine and rare in English. A Prunella is named for a flower also known as self-heal.
Wikipedia says the usual diminutive or short form of Prunella is Pru or Prue, and that these may also be short for the unrelated name Prudence. Prunella itself is the grand full name for formal occasions.
Wikipedia’s list of Prunellas includes Prunella Scales (1932 to 2025), a British actress, Prunella Clough (1919 to 1999), a British artist, and Prunella Stack (1914 to 2010), a British fitness pioneer and women’s rights activist. It also names Prunella Briance (1926 to 2017), the founder of the National Childbirth Trust, and Prunella Gee, born in 1950, an English former actress.
Prunella never appeared in a Social Security top-200 decade table, from the 1880s to the 2010s. Behind the Name has no popularity data for the name in any country, so there are no yearly ranks to quote. It is a rare, distinctive name that stands out wherever it is used.
Wikipedia lists Prunella as the title character of the Italian fairy tale “Prunella,” and Prunella Deegan, a child in the children’s book and television series Arthur. It also lists Prunella Gentleman, the heroine of Zen Cho’s novel Sorcerer of the Crown.
This is a notebook for every kind of Prunella: the student, the list-maker, the diary keeper, the busy mom. Its 160 lined pages and 6" x 9" format suit daily journaling, study, meal plans, goals or gratitude notes. Plain lines mean no rules about how to use it. Her name on the front makes it easy to spot on a crowded desk.
Notebooks tend to multiply on desks and in drawers. One with Prunella’s name on the front is instantly hers: easy to spot, harder to “borrow”, and more personal than a plain cover. For children especially, seeing their own name on something makes it special and encourages them to actually use it.
How big is Prunella’s Notebook? The notebook measures 6 x 9 inches (roughly 15 x 23 cm) and has 160 lined pages.
