Random Latin fact

The Roman first name Gaius is, despite the common misspelling "Gajus", trisyllabic. In numerous poems by the Roman poet Martial, we see that the name cannot be bisyllabic for metrical reasons. Presumably, the name is a contraction of the name Gavius.

"Gaius". In: Charlton T. Lewis and Charles Short (1879) A Latin Dictionary, Oxford, Clarendon Press
