Who Was PLL Actress Troian Bellisario Named After?

Pretty Little Liars actress Troian Bellisario (Spencer Hastings) has a unique name. How did her parents decide on her name? Troian explained that it is a family surname.

Troian’s great-grandmother was named Maria Giuseppe Troian Bellisario. Troian means “woman of Troy”.

Troian loves her how special her name is, so she doesn’t care if people constantly mispronounce her name. Actually, it is Troian’s friends who get more upset about people mispronouncing her name.

When Troian attended USC, she was glad people assumed her parents named her Troian because they were huge Trojan fans. Back in high school, Troian’s classmates assumed she was named after the Trojan condom brand.
