The only praenomina known to have been used by the early Ogulnii were Quintus, Gnaeus, Lucius, and Marcus, although in a filiation from the Fasti Capitolini the ancestor of the Ogulnii Galli may have been named Aulus.^[2] The later Ogulnii used all of these, as well as Numerius, and there are examples of Publius and Titus as well.

The only cognomen of the Ogulnii under the Republic is Gallus, which signified a cockerel, or a Gaul. The other Ogulnii mentioned in history had no surnames.^[1][3]

This list includes abbreviated praenomina. For an explanation of this practice, see filiation.

Early Ogulnii edit

• Quintus Ogulnius, tribune of the plebs in 300 BC, together with his brother, Gnaeus, proposed the law opening the various Roman priesthoods to the plebeians. As curule aediles in 296, they collected fines from those who violated the usury laws, which they used to build various public works, including a statue of the She-wolf suckling the Twins on the site of the Ficus Ruminalis. Quintus was one of the emissaries sent to Epidaurus in 292, and to Ptolemy II Philadelphus of Egypt in 273.^{[i][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]}
• Gnaeus Ogulnius, as tribune of the plebs in 300 BC, helped pass the lex Ogulnia, and in 296 used the proceeds of fines for usury to build various public works.^[5][13]

In 257, when both of the consuls were engaged during the First Punic War, Ogulnius was nominated dictator in order to hold the Feriae Latinae.^{[15][16][17][18]}
• Marcus Ogulnius, one of the ambassadors sent to Etruria in 210 BC, during the Second Punic War. His mission was to purchase grain for the Roman garrison at Tarentum, which was besieged by Hannibal's forces.^[19][20]
