("Where you, Gaius, likewise I, Gaia.") By the inclusion of Gaius and Gaia in the vow, the two names could of course be identified simply as "man" and "woman". The most promising explanation can however be found in the folk-etymological derivation from the Greek word γαῖα ( gaîa, "earth"), specifically γῆ ("gê") or γᾶ ("gâ"), which is supported by the Roman vow of marriage that the fiancée had to give: Ubi tu Caius et ego Caia. But no supporting evidence has been found to this day. Some have linked the name to an unknown Etruscan phrase, others to the gentilician name Gavius, which possibly might have lost the medial v in the course of time. This etymology is commonly seen as incorrect, and the origin of Gaius is often stated as still unknown. The only known original Roman etymology of Gaius is expressed as a gaudio parentum, meaning that the name Gaius stems from the Latin verb gaudere ("to rejoice", "to be glad"). The old spelling remained valid in later times and existed alongside Gaius, especially in the form of the abbreviation C. before the censorship of Appius Claudius Caecus in 312 BC, the name was only written as Caius. Before the introduction of the letter G into the Latin alphabet, i.e. Gaius is an archaic Latin name and one of the earliest Roman praenomina. Suetonius also speaks of the additional cognomen Pater Patriae, which would render Caesar's complete name as Imperator Gaius Iulius Caesar Pater Patriae Divus. DIVVS, best translated as "Commander God Gaius Julius Caesar"), which is mostly given as his official historical name.After his senatorial consecration as Divus Iulius in 42 BC, the dictator perpetuo bore the posthumous name Imperator Gaius Iulius Caesar Divus ( IMP Caesar often spoke of himself only as Caius Caesar, omitting the nomen gentile Iulius. A longer version can also be found, however rarely: Gaius Iulius Gai(i) filius Gai(i) nepos Caesar ("Gaius Julius Caesar, son of Gaius, grandson of Gaius"). The name of the dictator Julius Caesar-Latin script: CAIVS IVLIVS CAESAR-was often extended by the official filiation Gai filius ("son of Gaius"), rendered as Gaius Iulius Gai filius Caesar.
