Ammianus

Etymology
Most probably of ultimate Semitic origin, the name probably meaning "faithful". May be compared with 🇨🇬, the given name of David's eldest son, or, according to one variant, 🇨🇬. Compare 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬, and 🇨🇬.

The semivowel in the component may be explained by popular Latin naming conventions in Ammian's time, see,  etc., and may have been an effort to "latinize" his native name.

Proper noun

 * , famously held by:
 * Ammianus Marcellinus, a 4th century Roman historian from Roman Syria or Phoenicia
