History and Origin
English: name that occurs twice in the works of Shakespeare, once as the name of the wife of Brutus in Julius Caesar. The historical Brutus' wife was called Porcia, feminine form of the Roman family name Porcius, which is apparently a derivative of Latin porcus pig. The main influence on the choice of this given name, however, is undoubtedly the other Shakespearian character of this name, an heiress in The Merchant of Venice who, disguised as a man, shows herself to be a brilliant advocate.
