Definition: The Roman name is taken to be typically a tria nomina or 3-names name, consisting of a praenomen or given name, a nomen gentile or gentilicium (the clan name), and a cognomen specifying the family within the clan. After these might come an added cognomen or agnomen or more than one.
Many Romans had only two names or even one, including Gaius Marius and Romulus.
