  Roman naming convention
During the Roman Republic and Empire, the cognomen is inherited from father to son, serving to distinguish a family within a Gens.
In the beginning, the praenomen and nomen constituted a Roman's full name and were followed by the so-called filiation (a patronymic or indication of paternity).
The filiation (patronimicus) consisted of the Latin word for "son" filius (abbreviated by the letter f.) preceded by the abbreviation of the father's praenomen, which was understood in the genitive.

 Roman naming convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Roman naming convention used in ancient Rome, male names typically contain three proper nouns which are classified as praenomen (or given name), nomen gentile (or Gens name) and cognomen.
During the Roman Republic and Empire, the cognomen is inherited from father to son, serving to distinguish a family within a Gens.
When a Roman man was adopted into another family (a common event due to the small number of children most families had), his name would become the adopted father's full name, plus his birth family's name in a derivative form.

 Cognomen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cognomen ("name known by" in English) was originally the third name of a Roman in the Roman naming convention.
Because of the limited nature of Roman names, the cognomen developed to distinguish branches of the family from one another, and occasionally, to highlight an individual's achievement, typically in warfare.
By the Late Roman Republic, however, the use of cognomen even in daily conversation had become typical.

 Roman Nomenclature
On inscriptions and official documents, the male citizen was also usually designated by reference to his paternal ancestors and the Roman voting tribe in which he was registered; an indication of the voting tribe is proof positive that the man was a Roman citizen.
