Consuetudo nominationum priscorum Romanorum masculina nomina formalia continuisse tria nomina antiquitate praevidebat. Haec ut praenomen, nomen (nomen gentile, nomen gentilicium), cognomen indicabatur. Interim accrescebat cognomen secundum, agnomine appellato. Homo adoptatus monstrabatur in nomine etiam illem adoptionis (exempli causa, C. Iulius Caesar Octavianus Augustus). De femininis nominibus, paucae differentiae erat. De civitate Romana, solum tria elementa obligabantur: praenomen, nomen, et cognomen et alii (exempli causa, agnomen et adoptio) optivi erant. Tria nomina modus Latinus translaticius nominare homines erat, aevo antiquiore Romano, sed denominatio hominum unico nomine constabat.
