Latinized Name
Latinisation (or Latinization) of names, also known as onomastic Latinisation (or onomastic Latinization), is the practice of rendering a ''non''-Latin name in a modern Latin style. It is commonly found with historical proper names, including personal names and toponyms, and in the standard binomial nomenclature of the life sciences. It goes further than romanisation, which is the transliteration of a word to the Latin alphabet from another script (e.g. Cyrillic). For authors writing in Latin, this change allows the name to function grammatically in a sentence through declension. In a scientific context, the main purpose of Latinisation may be to produce a name which is internationally consistent. Latinisation may be carried out by: * transforming the name into Latin sounds (e.g. for ), or * adding Latinate suffixes to the end of a name (e.g. for '' Meibom),'' or * translating a name with a specific meaning into Latin (e.g. for Italian ; both mean 'hunter'), or * choosing ...

Antonina (wife Of Belisarius)
Antonina (, – after 565) was a Byzantine patrician and wife of the general Belisarius. The historian Procopius, who was Belisarius' legal advisor, alleges that her influence over her husband was great and features her as dominating him.Martindale, Jones & Morris (1992), p. 91–93 The historian Paolo Cesaretti mentions her as a controversial figure and the "right arm" of the empress Theodora in the exercise of influence and power. The chief source regarding Antonina is Procopius' '' Secret History'', whose reliability is debated by scholars, and Procopius' ''Wars''.
