*dru- > Drausus > Drūsus > Drūsĭānus
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Roman praenomen and cognomen “Drusus,” typical of the clan Claudia and Livia, and then inherited by the Julio-Claudian dynasty. The name could derive from the Old Celtic “*dru- > Drausus,” meaning “strong, courageous, valiant.” 1) Drusus Julius Caesar (7–33 AD) was a member of the Julio-Claudian or Imperial family of Ancient Rome. He was a son of Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder. He was a brother to Emperor Caligula, nephew to Emperor Claudius. 2) Drusus the Elder (38–9 BC) was a Roman politician and military commander. He was a patrician Claudian on his legal father’s side, but his maternal grandmother was from a plebeian family. 3) Drusilla (38–79 AD) was a daughter of Herod Agrippa I and thus sister to Berenice, Mariamne, and Herod Agrippa II. 4) Drusilla of Mauretania may be the Drusilla mentioned by Tacitus as Antonius and Cleopatra’s granddaughter. If so, she would have been a princess of Mauretania, the youngest child of queen Cleopatra Selene II and king Juba II and a sister to King Ptolemy of Mauretania.
