单词 praenomen
释义

praenomen

/priːˈnəʊmɛn /
noun
An ancient Roman’s first or personal name, for example Marcus Tullius Cicero. Compare with nomen, cognomen, agnomen.They seem to give the praenomen (personal name) Titus to the same man, and a Titus Petronius Niger is attested as consul on Herculaneum tablets....
  • Lots of Marks around, here and in Western Europe and that makes sense - Marcus was a common Roman praenomen (essentially the equivalent of a first name), and the Romans had very few such common names.
  • ‘Nothing…’ Nero lied, ignoring the use of his praenomen as a playful, boyishly immature slur.

Origin

Latin, from prae 'before' + nomen 'name'.
