Frequently Asked Questions

How did Roman names work?

Roman male citizens typically had three names (Tria Nomina): Praenomen (given name), Nomen (clan name), and Cognomen (family name/nickname). Women traditionally used the feminine form of their father's Nomen.

Are these accurate for history projects?

Yes, we use real historical Praenomina, Nomina, and Cognomina. However, random combination means specific family lines might be mixed.

Why are female names different?

Roman women were historically named after their clan (e.g., a daughter of Julius would be Julia). By the late Republic, they started using Cognomina to distinguish sisters.
