# Truttedia gens

The gens Truttedia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. No members of this gens appear in history, but a number are known from inscriptions, some of whom were minor officials at Rome and in the provinces.

## Origin

The nomen Truttedius belongs to a class of gentilicia formed using the suffix -idius or -edius, originally derived from cognomina ending in -idus. After this type of formation had become sufficiently familiar, these came to be regarded as regular gentile-forming suffixes, and were applied to other names by analogy. Truttedius belongs to this latter group.

## Praenomina

The main praenomina of the Truttedii were Publius, Sextus, and Gaius, all of which were common throughout all periods of Roman history. A few members of this gens bore other common names, including Lucius and Titus.
