The name Satnin was a pet name Elvis originally had for his mother, Gladys, believed to be a term of endearment. Following Gladys’ death in 1958, Elvis is said to have passed the nickname on to Priscilla.
“This is the power of true love, what the memory loves remains eternal,” one fan commented on Priscilla Presley’s tribute, while another added, “A beautiful love story.”
