We don't know. All we actually know about him is that he was from Thrace, and led a slave revolt. The name Spartacus may not even have been his real name. It sounds very much like a stage name, taken from the Spartans who were renown for their fighting. This would be a great stage name for a gladiator.

If Spartacus was his real name his parents gave it to him, just as our parents name us. If it was a name given to him by the owner of his gladiatorial school, it was more than likely a name associated with a Spartan, which has a connotation of a strong fighter.
Oh--Kay---- it sounds a if you have been taken in with fiction. In reality, there is no such person as Varinia who was the wife of Spartacus. Varinia is a made up name that the screen writer of the original Spartacus movie concocted. According to Barry Strause in his book on Spartacus, we have no idea of his wife's name. The ancient authorities seem to agree that Spartacus had a wife, but weather she was a Thracian witch, or just a slave woman from Italy is not agreed upon. It is very easy to get caught up in the fiction regarding Spartacus and sometimes difficult to separate fact from hype.
Nothing is known about that. It is not even known whether Spartacus had a wife. If he had one, he would have been separated from her when he was enslaved. All we know about Spartacus is the battles he fought against the Romans.
The name "Spartacus" is a Latin name. It had no nationality as such. The rebel gladiator Spartacus was said to be from Thrace and also was said to have served in the Roman army. Many auxiliaries either Latinized their names or changed them completely to a Latin (Roman) name.

His wife's name was sura
Spartacus is a latin (Roman) name. It is the same in English, Spanish and Latin
There is no other name on record except Spartacus. Almost nothing is known of the man before his enslavement. Also we don't even know if "Spartacus" was the man's real name. It could very well have been a pseudonym that he used. The name Spartacus connoted the city of Sparta, known for its fighters, and would fit very well as a stage name for a gladiator.

This is a confusing question because Eros is the greek name for Cupid. The question could be translated as what is an example of love in Spartacus?
Spartacus became a gladiator when he was captured and trained. I know this is not a very specific answer, but we know very, very little about Spartacus, the man. We don't even know if "Spartacus" was his real name. He comes into history as a leader of a slave revolt and leaves history as a defeated enemy.
