Best Answer

Signare

is the infinitive form of the verb signo.

Signo,

signare,

signavi,

signatum.

It means "to

sign" Its where we get the word signature from. A mark of any kind, on any surface can represent a signature, or be a symbol for something else. But when the Romans carved names in things they usually abbreviated the first name and left the last name, or sometimes just used the initials as in L. P. and everyone would know that L. meant Lucius. Nomen, on the other hand, is a noun which means name (its where we get the word nomenclature from) and sculpere isthe verb which means "to carve" and from which we get the word, sculpture. So to say I carved my name, I would have to say, Sculpebam mihi nomen. Looks very different from signare.
