We don't know what the name of the Centurian was. The Bible only said he was a centurian, and so his background remains a mystery. However, according to the Catholic tradition that arose later, his name was Longinus. He is associated with the "Lance of Longinus," a spear or lance that pierced the side of Christ, also called the Spear of Destiny.
