https://heraldry.sca.org/names/roman.html

Accipiter 'bird of prey, falcon, hawk' is intended as a cognomen based on the common noun found in Little and Short, A Latin Dictionary. The pattern of using birds as cognomina is found in G.D. Chase, The Origin of Roman Praenomina: III. The Cognomina, Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, Vol 8 1897, p 113 https://archive.org/details/jstor-310491 Examples are Merula 'blackbird', Corvus 'raven', and Buteo 'hawk'.

Pavo is a cognomen meaning peacock, found in the "Epigraphic Database Heidelberg" from the northern region of Italy https://edh.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/edh/inschrift/HD005261 - The transcription is L CEIVS PAVO :: We also have the cognomen in an article from Steele, August 12, 2021. doi:10.2307/4387594 - see attached image.

https://www.jstor.org/stable/4387594?...#...

An example of a period name with an agnomen (4th name element) is Pubilius Cornelius Scipio Africanus (popularly known as Scipio Africanus)

Correction to Alternate Name (2023-Aug-28 23:08:58): Should Accipiter not be found acceptable, submitter will accept Buteo in the cognomen (third) name slot.
