+ It meant to give a name, as in Ennius and Cicero's ''amor, ex quō amīcitia est nōminātā''; to call, describe as; to call by name aloud; to mention by name, as in Plautus; to specify, designate; to name as guilty, denounce, accuse; to nominate or appoint to an office, as in the ''Rhetorica ad Herennium''; to count among; and in the passive to be famous.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016)

+ In Ecclesiastical Latin it meant to name, nominate.^(Stelten 1995) It survives in French ''nommer'', Spanish ''nombrar'' and Italian ''nominare''.^(Wiktionary) Its participle ''nōminātus'' gave [[en|nominate]] in the 1540s.^(Etymonline)
