Well, maybe, sort of. As much as it pains me to say so, DT may actually have a valid point if you go back to the original meaning in Classical Latin:

A "persona" in the word's everyday usage, is a social role or a character played by an actor. The word is derived from Latin, where it originally referred to a theatrical mask.

And yes, you can look it up.
