Latin word for my name is

Latin may not be commonly spoken today, but this classical language played a crucial role in world history and contributed to many words we’re familiar with in English today.

Because it is no longer spoken often, Latin has a certain appeal to modern language learners; it seems interesting, unique, and somewhat mysterious.

As you explore the language, you’ll find that there are plenty of cool Latin words you can use for usernames!

We list the best examples (with English translations/definitions) below.

Latin Username Generator

Tips for Creating Your Own Latin Username

When choosing a Latin word for a username, you don’t necessarily need an in-depth knowledge of the language — just a good dictionary!

The best dictionaries you’ll find are those that come from academic institutions. (They tend to be more reliable than other online dictionaries, which may not be accurately sourced.)

In creating our list, we used the University of Notre Dame’s Latin Dictionary and Grammar Aid and William Whitaker’s Words, which allows you to browse by letter or search for an English word.

We also recommend Latinitium, which offers four searchable Latin dictionaries online; you can search for Latin or English words.

With your dictionary of choice on hand, consider the following techniques to find a cool Latin word for a username:

• Translate a word you like in English. Search for your favorite thing/name/word in English in one of the searchable Latin dictionaries. You’ll find the Latin translation of the word you search; similar words or synonyms may also appear in your search results. You might want to jot down a handful of your favorite words, so you have options, since not every word you like in English will translate well into Latin!
• Randomize! Use a dictionary that is browsable by letter, click on a random letter, and look through the words until you find one that you like. Leaving an element of your choice up to chance can help you find words you were unaware of and find a word that immediately catches your eye.

There have been several ways of adopting names into Latin throughout history. I can think of three main options for you.

1. Fully integrate the name into the case system. Historically, this was often down with Greek names. Since your name already ends in an -a, this isn’t really a challenge, and it works perfectly as any other first declension noun, yielding Fianna, Fiannae. In a sentence, Magister docet Fiannam linguam latinam.

2. Simply use the name without any adjustment to the case system. This is how Hebrew names are handled in the Latin Vulgate Bible. In this system, you’d have Fianna used in all cases.

3. Translate the meaning. If your name has an actual meaning in Irish, you can try to construct a Latin name that means the same thing. I’m not immediately familiar with historical precedent for this, but it’s certainly an option. Edit: Just saw that you go for ‘deer’, which in Latin would be Cerva. Note that, in the Classical period, the C sounds like a K, and the V like a W.

I’d personally recommend the first option, since your name is already quite well suited to Latin’s sound and grammar systems.

The Latin Duolingo course is not of particularly high quality.
Completing the course will certainly give you some insight to Latin, but every detail of the course must be taken with a grain of salt.
We have a separate question on the quality of the course.

The words mihi, tibi, ei are the dative forms of the pronouns ego, tu, is/ea/id.
Why the dative is used here is best taken to a separate question; like Duolingo, I will not go into it here.

The position of the dative is pretty free and it has the same freedom for all pronouns.
The position of est is also not tied to the specific person at all.
That is, all these are fine:

Nomen mihi est Marcus.
Nomen tibi est Marcus.
Nomen ei est Marcus.
Mihi nomen est Marcus.
Tibi nomen est Marcus.
Ei nomen est Marcus.
Nomen mihi Marcus est.
Nomen tibi Marcus est.
Nomen ei Marcus est.
Mihi nomen Marcus est.
Tibi nomen Marcus est.
Ei nomen Marcus est.

It is an unfortunate feature of Duolingo — and not just with Latin — that it might get stuck on artificially set phrases and marks some perfectly correct answers as wrong.
The freedom of positioning the dative should have been made explicit in the instructions.

Want to make your own Latin name? It’s Easy! Take your first name and add a Latin suffix to the end. The suffixes change between male and female so if you’re a boy, pick a suffix from the male list. If you’re a girl, pick a suffix from the female list.

Male:

• -us                            Example: Max + imus = Maximus
• -rius
• -ius
• -entius
• -dius
• -iscius
• -ustus
• -imus
• -oris
• -avius

Female:                                   Example: Piper + a = Pipera

• -a

• -ria
• -la
• -entia
• -dia
• -icia
• -ustina
• -ima
• -oris
• -avia

My husband would prefer Stella as the name of our child, and I agree that it is a pretty name with a nice meaning. Both of our families have the tradition of three first names, which we would like to continue — both of us have three first names as well. So I thought I would like the full name to have a meaning, like a phrase, instead of three separate names with separate backgrounds and separate meanings. Since stella is a latin word, the other names would have to be latin as well.

I myself know some Latin words and phrases (‘Asterix Latin’, I call it) but I’m lacking grammar. Would some Latin expert like to play this name game to help me? Which names / words to combine with Stella (which would be the ‘official’ name to call her by)?

Some words / names that come to my mind that could be added with Stella:

Beata, Aurelia, Vera, Lumina, Florentia, Clara, Aurora… You can come up with more.

How to make a combination of three names/words that would actually make sense it latin with a nice meaning? I’m open to any suggestions, they don’t have to be traditional names (but they can be).

Thank you!
