Titus

Meaning and originality:

Titus is an old Roman given name. it has a long history which dates back to Antiquity. It was one of the most commonly used named in ancient Rome. The possible source of this name is a Latin word which means “title of honor”. Titus Flavius Vespasianus was a Roman Emperor who was famous for attacking and destroying Jerusalem and its temple. This was done as a consequence of the ongoing wars between Jews and Romans. Their fight was due to religious differences and taxation disagreements. Many historical disasters such as the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, the Great Fire of Rome, and an outbreak of the Plague happened during his reign. He died when he was only 41 years old. He is known for being a compassionate emperor who came to the aid of his people when they needed him. A king who treated his people with respect.

Titus has some religious roots as well. Titus is mentioned as a companion of Paul in the New Testament. Paul was the first Christian bishop of Crete. As such, Puritans who were famous for using the names of the less significant Bible characters, adopted this name during the Protestant Reformation.

All this being said, we must point that Titus has never been a very popular name in English speaking countries. Despite its low levels of usage, Titus is one of the oldest names in the English language, a name that has survived so many eras.
