Roman Names

Romans often used a first or last middle name signifying the given name (praenomen), family name (nomen), and branch of a family (cognomen). The three name formula was not used for everyone, however. Usually, only Patricians and Equites employed this formula and foreigners had their own customs. Plebeians would at least have a praenomen and usually a nomen. Slaves usually only had a praenomen.

Ex. Gaius Julius Caesar

Gaius=praenomen
Julius=nomen
Caesar= cognomen

The list of praenomen or given names were very limited, but for the purposes of this roleplay, you can make up a name that sounds Roman or use a historically based name. A list of known male praenomen are as follows:

?Aulus A.
?Appius App.
?Gaius C.
?Gnaeus Cn.
?Decimus D.
?Kaeso K.
?Lucius L.
?Marcus M.
?Numerius Num.
?Publius P.
?Quintus Q.
?Servius Ser.
?Sextus Sex.
?Spurius Sp.
?Titus Ti.
?Tiberius Ti. Tib.

Female praenomen can be found here: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix: ... iven_names

Nomens (family names) typically ended in -ius with the -ianus ending indicating adoption. A list of Nomen can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_nomina

A list of cognomen (family branch) names is given here: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix: ... iven_names
