Roman naming:

Over the course of the centuries, the Romans and other peoples of Italy employed a system of nomenclature that differed from that used by other cultures of Europe and the Mediterranean It consisted of a combination of personal and family names. Although conventionally referred to as the tria nomina, the combination of praenomen, nomen, and cognomen that have come to be regarded as the basic elements of the Roman name, in fact represent a continuous process of development, from at least the seventh century BC to the end of the seventh century AD.

These names  exerted a profound influence on the development of European naming practices, and many continue to survive in modern languages.
