Licinius is Latin in Origin.
Licinius is a Latin gentilicium, the hereditary name of the gens Licinia, shaped with the Roman family-name suffix -ius. The usual explanation traces it to the earlier cognomen Licinus, from the Latin adjective licinus, bent, upturned, especially of hair or a horn. A competing antiquarian proposal connects the family name with Etruscan Lecne, found in funerary inscriptions, but the transparent Latin adjective supplies the literal sense.
In Roman usage Licinius functioned chiefly as a nomen rather than a given name. The Licinii appear from the early Republic among prominent plebeian families; bearers include Gaius Licinius Stolo, associated with the Licinio-Sextian reforms, Marcus Licinius Crassus, and the fourth-century emperor Licinius. Later European use is mostly learned or antiquarian, with vernacular forms such as Italian and Spanish Licinio and Portuguese Licínio.
