Latin words inscribed on stone

The Latin language can be traced all the way back to 75 B.C. It’s one of the oldest languages in the world, yet few people today are fluent in Latin.

Historically, only scholars and highly-educated people knew enough Latin to use it conversationally or in literature. Perhaps this is why literature from ancient times written in Latin is known as some of the best worldwide.[1]

Through time, the Latin language has evolved. It was first written from right to left but is now written left to right, just like English.

Many English words have Latin roots or Latin influence. Latin is used in today’s world to name newly-discovered species of plants and animals. Many historic buildings in the U.S. also feature quotes in Latin, and it’s commonly used in the field of Law.[1]

Our list features Latin words and phrases (with definitions) appropriate for any guild or team.

If you’re interested in creating your own unique Latin guild or team name, we also share some tips below the list to help you find the perfect word or phrase.
