Roman Name Generator

How this list was compiled: 628 full Roman names built by rule on 2 October 2026 from real parts; nothing in any name is made up, only the joining is ours. Personal names (praenomina): 18 of the 19 masculine praenomina that English Wikipedia's 'Praenomen' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praenomen) lists with a written abbreviation and that have an entry in English Wiktionary's category 'Latin praenomina'; the abbreviation on each card is that list's. Sextus is the one left out, because its written abbreviation is a word this site does not print. Clan names (nomina): 105 names from English Wikipedia's 'List of Roman nomina' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_nomina) that end in -ius, link to an article on their gens that exists, have an entry in Wiktionary's 'Latin nomina gentilia' and are not on this site's list of Roman last names; every fourth such name in A-to-Z order was taken. Added names (cognomina): 56 names that stand on English Wikipedia's 'List of Roman cognomina' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_cognomina) and whose Latin entry in Wiktionary's 'Latin cognomina' derives the name from the same Latin word and gives its meaning. A name is left out where the entry calls the origin uncertain (Licinus), where the meaning is a body part or a remark on a person's hair, beard, coloring, height or build (Barba, Bassus, Burrus, Cincinnatus, Fuscus, Lanatus and Scapula among them), and where it is a word this site does not print. The meaning printed for Avitus is the gloss of the Latin word's own entry (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/avitus#Latin), which the name's entry shortens to one word. Men's names: each clan name is dealt four personal names and four added names in turn, so every part is used about equally. Women's names follow the custom described in English Wikipedia's 'Roman naming conventions' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_naming_conventions): the feminine form of the clan name, which is the name of the gens, with Major or Minor for two sisters, or Prima, Maxima, Secunda, Tertia or Quarta where there were more. All pages were read on 2 October 2026. Real people: every full name was looked up that day as an English Wikipedia page title, redirects followed, and 0 matched; no men's card is a name that stands in the Wikipedia article on its gens, and three cards whose clan name and added name stood together there under another personal name were given another added name.
