We know his family name is Pomponius, however the given surname Atticus ‘Man of Attica’ was given to him, by the Athenians. The ancient sources don't mention his parent's name. After he returned to Rome, he stayed away from politics. Although he had various conservative views, he often shared those views with Cicero.

Around this time, his uncle had passed away. He had become his adopted son and assumed the name Titus Servilius Pomponianus. In his later years, he married a great-grand daughter of the Triumvir Crassus. She had borne him a son of the same name (little is known of him) and a daughter Caecilia Attica.
