The suffix -ānus is typically added to a noun stem (particularly proper nouns) to form an adjective.
Many such words, however, can be either nouns or adjectives.
-ānus is also often used to form personal names, particularly cognomina, from other names, denoting a patronymic or another relationship of belonging: Domitius → Domitiānus.
It is frequently preceded by the noun stem followed by -i- except in the case of Latin nouns (typically borrowed from Greek) ending -e- or -ae-, where it is preceded by -e- instead.
First/second-declension adjective.
