Abstract

This paper aims at offering a revision of the relationship between the names of indigenous family units in genitive plural attested in the inscriptions of Ancient Hispania and the indigenous names found in onomastic formulae that can also be used to refer to them. Attention is paid to various issues, such as the geographical distribution of those names and their relationship to god names in Western Hispania. It is argued that, besides names displaying -ko-suffixes, other formations could also be used for that purpose; it may also be the case that there are certain morphological variations among the names used to refer to the same family unit. On a number of inscriptions it is also possible to find information concerning the emergence of new family units provided of a new name inside previously existing family units.
