- Latin
- Among the ancient Romans, daughters were often given as praenomina cardinal or ordinal numbers reflecting the order of their birth. Names such as Prima, Secunda, Tertia, Quarta, Quinta, etc. were thus extremely common. This practice was also used to a lesser extent with boys' names, then Primus, Secundus, Tertius, Quartus, Quintus, etc...

- Children with the same name as a parent may be given a suffixed number II as an alternative to "Junior". II is also used if a child is given the same name as another relative, but not the parent (such as a grandparent or an uncle). Third and subsequent generations are almost universally given a number, such as William H. Gates III.
