Origin: From a proper name, combined with English elements; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: proper name Petronius , -an suffix, law n.¹

Etymology: < the name of Petronius (see note) + -an suffix + law n.¹, after classical Latin Lex Petronia.This law has been attributed to the consulate of P. Petronius Turpilianus, a.d. 61, but it is possible that it should rather be identified with the Lex Iunia Petronia of a.d. 19, enacted in the consulate of M. Iunius Silanus and P. Petronius.
