Disputatio:Carolus Darwin

E Vicipaedia

To my knowledge Darwin did not himself leave any writings in Latin, but I think it is safe to give him the Latin name Carolus Darwin.

  • The classicist Charles Darwin Adams (1856-1938) used the form Carolus Darwin Adams.
  • Generally for persons in the modern period, the prefered method of creating a Latin name is to Latinize the given name(s), but leave the family name unaltered and indeclinable.
