Best Answer

All Roman girls were given the feminine form of their father's gens or clan name. Many times this resulted in sisters having the same name, but that was common in ancient Rome. (Sometimes confusing to us) For example, the daughter of Gaius Julius Caesar was named Julia, the feminine form of the gens name of her father (Julius). Marc Antony, or in Latin Marcus Antonius, had three daughters and a wife named Antonia, the feminine form of his gens, Antonius. Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa had two daughters named Vipsania. So to find a name for a Roman girl, get it from the middle name of her father, or if the father does not use three names, use the feminine form of his last name.
