A name that means "the roman elegiac poet".

Sulpicia (1st c. BCE) was the Roman elegiac poet — six of her short poems survive in the Corpus Tibullianum, making her the only female Latin poet whose work survives substantially. Her love elegies to "Cerinthus" are firsts of their kind.

Rare but iconic in classical scholarship.

The only Latin female poet to survive substantially.

Where Sulpicia stands.

Sulpicia does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
