nero

1. The meaning of this term is uncertain. Possibilities include:
   1. (as a noun) virtue, strength
   2. (as a proper noun) Nero
   3. (as an adjective) strong, valiant

The term is attested indirectly in various ancient glosses:

• Suetonius, De Vita Caesarum Tib.1, 2:

  Inter cognomina autem et Neronis assumpsit, quod significatur lingua Sabina fortis ac strenuus.

  They added the name of "Nero" to their cognomina, which in the Sabine language means "strong" and "valiant"

• Aulus Gellius, Attic Nights 13, 23, 7:

  Id autem, sive "Nerio" sive "Nerienes" est, Sabinum verbum est, eoque significatur virtus et fortitudo.

  Whether it be "Nerio" or "Nerienes," it is a Sabine word meaning "virtue" and "strength."

• John the Lydian, De Mensibus 4.60:

  νέρωνας τοὺς ἀνδρείους οἱ Σαβῖνοι καλοῦσιν.

  (please add an English translation of this quotation)

• John the Lydian, De Magistratibus reipublicae Romanae 1.26:

  Νέρων ὁ ἰσχυρὸς τῇ Σαβίνων φωνῇ

  (please add an English translation of this quotation)

It is possible that Gellius and John the Lydian sourced their information from Suetonius. It is also possible that the claims of the supposed Sabine origins of the Claudii family are fabricated, and thus the supposed Sabine origins of the term may also be fictitious.
