Aged to perfection, Roman names for boys offer history and charm. Many remain well-known today, while others remain hidden treasures to explore. Get to know some of these amazing monikers with us.
Roman names for boys contain plenty of grand classics that turn heads, like the mighty Augustus. Meaning “great,” this handsome name is serious as can be, but he can also be lightened up with a host of playful nicknames, like Auggie, Gus, and August. There’s also Julius, who is linked to another Roman favorite—Caesar Both names are powerful with natural charisma and transport you back to Ancient Rome at their mentioning. You may recognize Ulysses, too, a presidential pick with Roman roots, and Marcus, a name that’s enjoyed ongoing popularity for decades.
Plenty of picks on today’s top baby names chart are Roman boy names, too. Felix is one of our favorites here, as his meaning of “happy and lucky” is more than enviable. Atticus is another who’s risen toward the top of the charts, and we adore this literary great. We like that he’s relatively nickname-proof, too. Roman himself is a popular pick if you’re like something with obvious Roman ties.
If you’re looking for something ready to rise, you’re in luck with Roman boy names. Evander is very similar to the popular Evan, but he isn’t as popular yet. He has a fashionable feel to him, and we can picture him on a sweet little boy. Nero is another that would wear well today as the O ending style continues to shine with names like Leo and Milo. For sports vibes, there’s Cassius, the birth name of boxer Muhammad Ali. He also comes with the in-demand nickname, Cash.
Whether you want a classic pick or something rare, you’re sure to find it among Roman names for boys.
