Tria nomina movement: Difference between revisions

Under the system proposed in 1825 by the self-named Gaius Cornelius Edsallanus (born Cái Edsall), the new naming convention would adapt the familiar two-name system by turning the surname into the cognomen and adding an individual's [[Estates of Urcea|Estate]] as their nomen, with the individual's first name remaining the same. Under Edsallanus's proposed system, women would also use the same naming convention of men, but while they would take their husband's cognomen, their Estate nomen would remain the same. An example of the system implemented is the full name of [[King Riordan VIII]], ''Riordan Julius Velucianus Augustus Carolinicus'', with Riordan being the given name/praenomen, Julius the name of the [[Estates of Urcea|Estate]], and Velucianus, a latinized version of [[House de Weluta|de Weluta]], serving as the family name or cognomen. Riordan bears the name Augustus by the merit of his position as [[Emperor of the Levantines]]. Very rarely, individuals have an agnomen, an optional name sometimes used as a nickname or victory title; in the case of the King, Carolinicus is a hereditary example of such an agnomen. Edsallanus envisioned agnomens being a rare honor awarded by the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]].

For individuals who were not members of an Estate, their nomen was to be "''Julianus''" ("possession of/origin from the Julii"), in reference to their patronage by the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]], the Custóir of the Julii and "father of the nation". [[Caenish people]], [[Ænglish people]] and [[Gassavelian people]] were to be excluded by the system unless they decided to join an Estate.
