Meaning & History

Roman cognomen possibly meaning either "flat-footed" or "flat-eared" in Latin.

Ancient Roman bearers include the playwright Titus Maccius Plautus (c. 254–184 BC); and the politician Gaius Rubellius Plautus (33–62 AD), who was executed by Emperor Nero due to their political rivalry.
