In the Roman naming convention used in ancient Rome, male names typically contain three proper nouns which are classified as praenomen (or given name), nomen (or Gens name) and cognomen.
During the Roman Republic and Empire, the cognomen is inherited from father to son, serving to distinguish a family within a Gens.
When a Roman man was adopted into another family (a usual event, due to the small number of children most families had), his name would become the adopted fathers full name, plus his own family name in a declined form.
