The Sabucii used a variety of personal
cognomina. The only family surname known from inscriptions is Major, typically given to the elder of two or more siblings; the cognomen Magnus, great, borne by one of the other Sabucii, might suggest a connection to this family. Sabinus usually designated someone of
Sabine ancestry, but might also refer to one who resembled a Sabine in his manner or habits.[3]Aper, found in one inscription of the consul Gaius Sabucius Major, refers to a wild boar.[4]
