Name bearer outside of gender

• The historian Gnaeus Pompeius Trogus of the 1st century AD, his father and his grandfather did not belong to the Pompeian family. Rather, the grandfather had "adopted" the name Pompey because he served under Pompey Magnus in the war against Sertorius and gained Roman citizenship through Pompey's influence. The family came from the area of ​​the Vocontier in the province of Gallia Narbonensis , and is actually said to have been of Celtic origin.
