A Roman praenomen dating back to antiquity, Titus likely derives from the Latin word *titulus*, meaning “title of honour” or “insignia.” The name is famously borne by the 1st-century Roman emperor who completed the Colosseum and by the recipient of Paul’s pastoral epistle in the New Testament. In literature, Shakespeare’s bloody tragedy *Titus Andronicus* gave the name a dramatic edge. Modern bearers include the writer Titus Groan (from Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast series) and actor Titus Welliver. The variant Tito is common in Spanish and Italian contexts.
