Sextus

Sextus is a name that comes from Latin roots. The meaning of Sextus is ‘sixth’, or ‘born sixth’. The name is most often given to people of the male gender. The name is used as a middle name or first name for someone born sixth in a family. The name is considered part of the class of common praenomina of masculine names in Latin, along with Nonus, Decimus, Septimus, and Quintus. Sextus Pompeius Magnus Pius (Sextus Pompey) was a notable military leader of Rome who fought for the cause of Pompey the Great, his father, against Julius Ceasar during the last set of the Roman Republic’s civil wars. Sextus Empiricus was an Empiric school physician and Greek Pyrrhonist philosopher. His works are regarded as the most complete account of ancient Roman and Greek Pyrrhonism that still survives. Sextus Tarquinius is another notable historical figure and the third-born son of Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, the last King of Rome. His crime against Lucretia is believed to have been largely responsible for overthrowing the Roman monarchy system and the beginning of the Roman Republic. Pope Alexander VI (Alexander Sextus) was also another notable personality with the name. He was a late 15th to the early 16th-century ruler of the Papal states and the religious head of the Catholic church.
