Background story
The praenomen (first name) in ancient Rome was often ordinal. Other such names that are still in use include Quintus (fifth), Sextus (sixth), Septimus (seventh) and Nona (ninth). These names either recorded the bearer's birth order or the number of the month in which they were born.
