The letters with which a Latin name ends vary depending on the gender of the word, and, in the case of actual use in the Latin language to make sentences, on how the name is used in the sentence. The same name will have a different ending if it is the subject of a sentence than if it is the object, and yet a further different ending if it is being used as a possessive. There are a total of three genders and five cases (or usage forms) each of which has a singular and a plural. So any given name can have a total of up to 10 endings, and adjectives, which must agree with the words they modify in case, gender and number, have a total of 30 possible word endings. For some words, the same ending is used for different cases, etc, so the total for a given word may be fewer.
In general, when a name is the subject of a sentence and is singular, not plural, it will end in the letter "A" if it follows the rules for feminine gender, in the letters "US" if it follows the rules for the masculine gender, and the letters "UM" if it follows the rules for the neuter gender.
In Latin, genitive nouns typically have endings that vary based on their declension. For example, first declension nouns usually end in "-ae" in the singular genitive (e.g., "puella" becomes "puellae"), while second declension nouns often end in "-i" (e.g., "servus" becomes "servi"). Third declension nouns have a more varied set of endings, often ending in "-is" (e.g., "rex" becomes "regis"). These endings indicate possession or relation in the context of the sentence.
To decline a noun in Latin, you need to change its form to indicate the case, number, and gender it is representing in the sentence. There are five main declensions in Latin, each with its own set of endings for the different cases. By learning the different declensions and their associated endings, you can accurately decline nouns in Latin.
No, there are several differences, including different words, sentence structure, and in Latin you have to change the endings of the nouns depending on how they are used. But it won't hurt.
Every latin noun belongs to one of five declensions, each declension having several endings, depending on how the word is used in a sentence. To take one example, "filia" means "daughter," but it can be "filia" in "She is the daughter," "filiae" in "the daughter's cloak," "filiam" in "we see the daughter," or "filia" in "Tell the daughter I was here." There are other endings for plural forms, and whole different sets of endings for nouns of other declensions.
Use -er endings for verbs that indicate the actor performing the action (e.g., driver, teacher), -or endings for nouns indicating the doer of an action or the person in a position (e.g., director, professor), and -ar endings for verbs in the infinitive form in Spanish.
A group of Latin nouns are called declensions. Latin was the language of ancient Rome.

A noun in English could end with any letter of the alphabet. The only language I know of in which every noun ends with the same letter is Esperanto, where a noun ends with "o." In some languages, the greatest number of nouns have one of a limited set of endings (as "us," "a," and "um" in Latin, or "o" and "a" in Spanish).
Only first declension Latin feminines end in -a. Most feminine nouns do not.
