What's your Renaissance humanist name?

Unilapidis Canis
(using the Latin genitive case for lapis)

Bonus Greek: Monolithou Kyōn

Oh, cool! Thanks, @Johanna. I especially like Monolithou.

Nemo Minor

Let’s not shortchange you. Equinagricola makes a solid word.

Mikros Outis?

To me, Hebrew is the only language more Classical than Ancient Greek. (Sanskrit and Tamil mustn’t be left out either)

My forename is already pure Hebrew, so no need to do anything more than transliterate it into the alef-bet.

My username in Sanskrit would be Stoka Nakis ( स्तोक नकिस्), which sounds pretty cool

Pfft, I have put enough data on SDMB that any of you wackos could easily find me IRL if you were inclined to.

My surname means “of nobility” so Ex Nobilitatis

And your username translates as Venatio Lepores.

I get that, and left it to individual Dopers how much of their names/which names to share. The ancestral name in my female line that I picked from over 200 years ago doesn’t help identify me.

As for modern Renaissance men, I’ll bet an ancestor of Jaco Pastorius back in old Germany was named Schaeffer or Hirt (i.e. shepherd or herdsman).

Using my “Delirious” webname, I would skip the Latin and go straight into Italian and be referred to by other scholars by the single name Delirante.

peccavi is already Latin!

In Greek- amártisa

No hope of translation of my actual surname. It’s in a Brythonic language and is neither noun nor verb. Beyond that I’ll say nought else, as I don’t care to reveal my uncommonly common true name.

My first and last name have agreed upon origin though both are quite common in very different cultures. So I would have no way of translating it.

My name might translate to something like “keeper of collection(s).” What would be the classical form of that?

Thanks but no thanks. That’s worse than my actual name, which people can neither pronounce nor spell.

I don’t mind if anyone works put my real-life name from here. It’s not uncommon, I’ve said nothing here or elsewhere online that I wouldn’t say in a letter for a newspaper, and what crook is really going to go through those contortions to find out … what?

As for my screen name here, I suppose that could come out as something like Londonianus Nobilis or Nobilis Londoniensis. I quite like either - sounds like a pseudonym for the author of a scurrilous gossip-sheet of the 17th or 18th century:
Milady A… appear’d exceeding diverted by the tendernefs with which Lord B… peeled her oranges at the theatre last Wednesday eve…

You’ve still got about a dozen different spelling variations to pick from, though. :slight_smile:
