Girls in Rome were given the feminine variation of their dad’s last name, so any latin boys name/surname with an A on the end replacing the “us” would be used

That’s interesting. [name_f]My[/name_f] dad’s name was [name_m]Terrence[/name_m] which I think is a [name_m]Roman[/name_m] name
Terentius is a latin name, so the feminine form would be [name_f]Terentia[/name_f].

I love that. Thanks I’m curious if they had more than one daughter do they all have the same name?!
yep! roman women weren’t given names. love that for them.
sometimes you’ll see historians using certain methods of differentiating roman women because their names were all sooo common, for example, three sisters being called julia prima, julia secunda, and julia tertia, which is literally just numbering them. other than that all roman womens’ names were just feminized patronyms.

It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but one of my personal favorites is [name]Venilia[/name_f] (ven-nee-lee-uh) 
She’s the [name_m]Roman[/name_m] deity of the sea and winds. I like [name]Vennie[/name_f] as a nickname
Yep! It would be [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Prima[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f] Secunda, [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Tertia[/name_f], etc

Just wanted to add: similar to how slaves were named. Basically it’s saying they are the property of the head of household, or the oldest man. Think [name_f]Offred[/name_f] vibes
