The nomen Quirinius belongs to a class of gentilicia derived from other names ending in -inus.^[1] Its root, the surname Quirinus, was an old Sabine word, apparently derived from quiris, a spear or javelin. As a cognomen, it was applied to Romulus, the legendary founder and first King of Rome, and it was later applied to other persons, including a family of the Sulpicia gens, and deities, including Mars, Janus, and the deified Augustus.^[2][3]

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