How to name A Roman?

Roman names typically consisted of three parts: the praenomen, nomen, and cognomen.

The praenomen was the first name used within the family, like “Marcus” or “Gaius.”

The nomen was the family name, like “Julius” or “Cornelius,” indicating the gens or clan.

The cognomen was an additional name used to distinguish individuals within the same family, often based on personal characteristics or achievements, such as “Cicero,” meaning “chickpea,” or “Augustus,” meaning “revered” or “venerable.”

For example, “Gaius Julius Caesar” – Gaius is the praenomen, Julius is the nomen, and Caesar is the cognomen.

These names were important for identifying individuals and their social status in Roman society.

Why did Romans have 3 names?

Romans had three names because it was part of their naming convention, which we have discussed above.
