Aulus

Several prominent ancient Romans had the praenomen Aulus:

Aulus Agerius (a name for the plaintiff in a lawsuit)
Aulus Atilius Calatinus
Aulus Caecina
Aulus Caecina Alienus
Aulus Cornelius Celsus
Aulus Cornelius Cossus
Aulus Cremutius Cordus
Aulus Didius Gallus
Aulus Didius Gallus Fabricius Veiento
Aulus Gabinius
Aulus Gallus
Aulus Gellius
Aulus Hirtius - consul after Caesar
Aulus Licinius Archias
Aulus Licinius Nerva Silianus
Aulus Persius Flaccus
Aulus Platorius Nepos
Aulus Plautius
Aulus Terentius Varro Murena
Aulus Vitellius

The name was traditionally connected with Latin aula, olla, "palace", but this is most likely a folk etymology. Aulus in fact probably derives from Etruscan Aule, Avle, Avile, of unknown meaning.
