• Agrippina — A feminine proper name of Latin origin (Agrippina), derived from the masculine name Agrippa. It is highly famous in ancient history through two imperial-rank female figures of the Julio-Claudian dynasty: Agrippina the Elder (mother of Emperor Caligula) and Agrippina the Younger (sister of Caligula, wife of Claudius, and mother of Emperor Nero), both representing archetypes of dynastic political ambition.
