It's just possible that you came across it in a book on traditional logic. If so, it indicates a syllogism in which both major and minor premisses + the conclusion are A propositions - that is Universal Affirmative statements.Let me give an example:
All men love women.
All women love cosmetics.
Therefore all men love cosmetics.
This is not valid, of course - find out where the fallacy crept in!
To get back to your name - this instance of it is not Latinate; in the Middle Ages teachers, mostly clerics, devised a mnemonic to remember which "moods" (I think that's what they were called) were valid.
It went something like this:
Barbara, Celarent, Darii, Ferioq, prioris
and so forth - four lines in, yes, Latin!
It was only the vowel letters that mattered. So Barbara has three A propositions and is valid in the first figure - thus the Latin "prioris" meaning first.
