Etymology
From la itc-pro *nēr man, from la ine-pro *h₂nḗr, whence grc ἀνήρ. According to Suetonius, the name was used by the Claudii family because, in the Sabine language, it meant "strong" ("la fortis") and "valiant" ("la strēnuus"). It is possible that the term was borrowed from la sbv nero, although the Sabine term may be fictitious.
