Cultural evidence or origins that name order indicated importance or authority

In the situation with Priscilla and Aquila, name order is often an argument within the egalitarian/complementation debates. Listing order has been used to point out significance or importance in a number of areas and commentaries of biblical text. It seems to be an accepted norm and most sources refer to well known cultural and traditional standards of the practice. I have not been able to find any basis for this. I’m not disagreeing with it but I would like to find a source where this is clear rather than just referencing “that what everyone says”. What are the origins of this teaching?
