  • auch (German) also + nomen: (Latin) namem thus another version of ekenames
  • agnomen: (Latin) additional name, In Classical Rome, men's names could be parsed into a praenomen, a nomen, a cognomen (the family name), and where needed, an agnomen to distinguish men of otherwise identical names or to recognize great accomplishments, such as Scipio becoming Scipio Africanus for his victories in the Punic Wars.
