I think, his name was Lucius? (premomen, dubious) Sergius (nomen) Saulus (cognomen): the most important is SERGIUS; Saulus (Saul) was also his personal Jewish name (cf. Flavius Iosephus, Cassius Dio, etc.) -- all very typical for the new (provincial) citizens. When Saul met his Roman relative, proconsul Lucius Sergius Paulus (the elder member of Tribus Sergia), and became his friend, he took his cognomen and became Paulus -- in Rome it was not unusual, and it strengthened St.Paul's Roman citizenship.
