family
What did the ancient Romans name their children?
The ancient Romans had set patterns for naming their children. First of all understand that there were generally three names associated with a Roman. They were the praenomen, the nomen and the cognomen. The praenomen was the man's given name or first name, such as Gaius. The second name was the gens or name of the clan, such as Julius. The third name was the cognomen or family name what we would consider a last name, which denoted the stirpes or division of the clan to which the man belonged. In this example it would be Caesar. So the above is Gaius Julius Caesar which says the man is Gaius of the Caesar branch of the Julian clan. Now after all that, the Romans named the first son after the father and any younger sons would be named with praenomens that were commonly used within their family. Daughters were always named with the feminine form of the gens such as Julia (Julius being the masculine form). If a person had more than one daughter, nicknames were used.

How did ancient Romans worship their ancestors?
The ancient Romans did not exactly worship their ancestors as much as honoring them. They had special festivals in which honor was paid to their ancestors. If the ancestor was famous, they could have a wax mask made of him and that mask was displayed in the atrium of the house and carried in funeral processions of current members of the family.
Why were roman emperors called Caesar?
They were called "Caesar" because that was their title.The Romans never used the words king or emperor. It came about because Caesar was the family name of the first five emperors and the Romans called people by their last names. (If they did not know them well.) It then became a tradition to call each ruler "Caesar" as the name had taken on more of a meaning than a simple family name.
