Term 'persona' is derived from latin word meaning mask, role, character.
In Jung's psychology persona is complex (structure) that drives how people act, similar to ego complex.
Persona is someone's public mask, and mediates between ego and external world.
Basic Persona's definition, by Jung is 'functional complex', that serves adaptation to external item (object, thing).
Logical conclusion would be that persona is relative, and that there might be many personas with regard to different external things.
Additional definitions include 'external character', and 'habitual external posture' (internal posture is represented by soul, ego's relation with own soul is self expression according to 'myself' as subject).
