Normally a Roman citizen had three names. these names said something about him. His praenomen, or first name was his personal name. Next came his nomen, which was the name of the clan or gens he belonged to, This nomen was hereditary. His last name or cognomen, was the name of the branch of the clan to which he belonged. It too, was hereditary. Sometimes an honorific or an agnomen was added to the man's name for some outstanding service, such as Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus. Africanus was the honorific because he defeated Hannibal. This agnomen or honorific name was not passed down to his descendants.
