Not quite sure what you're after. Are you looking
for how Latin forms names? From older names or
newly made named? Are you looking for how a Latin
descended language forms names?

Latin seems to favour feminine names (Roma,
Italia); but abviously not all are feminine.

Some context would be of help!
