Sporus
Sporus was a young boy whom the Roman Emperor Nero favored, had castrated, and married.〔(Ancient History Sourcebook: Suetonius: De Vita Caesarum—Nero, c. 110 C.E. )〕〔(Cassius Dio Roman History: LXII, 28 – LXIII, 12–13 )〕〔Champlin, 2005, p.145〕〔Smith, 1849, p.897〕 == Origins of the name == ''Sporus'' derives from the ancient Greek word σπορά ''spora'', meaning "seed, sowing," related to σπόρος ''sporos'', "sowing," and σπείρειν ''speirein'', "to sow." In all references about this story, he is always called Sporus, a male name, when the female would be Spora. According to the Roman naming conventions, he would gain the nomen and praenomen of his former master retaining his former name as a cognomen. In that case, assuming that it was Nero who freed him (which is not clear), his full name would be ''Nero Claudius Sporus'' (after ''Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus'').
