==Name== {{see also|Roman naming conventions}} Following the Roman custom of parents and children sharing the same [[Nomen gentilicium|nomen]] and [[cognomen]], women in the same family would often share the same name. Accordingly, [[Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa]] first daughter with [[Attica (wife of Agrippa)|Attica]] was named [[Vipsania Agrippina]].{{efn|This is the name given in [[Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum|CIL]] [https://edh.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/edh/inschrift/HD002169 VI 40321], although the text is almost entirely a reconstruction. [[Tacitus]] does indeed call her "Vipsania" in his ''Annals''.<ref>[[Annals (Tacitus)]], [[s:The Annals (Tacitus)/Book 1|1, 12]]</ref>}} To distinguish Agrippa and [[Julia the Elder|Julia]]'s daughter from their granddaughter [[Julia Agrippina]], historians refer to this daughter as "Agrippina the Elder" ([[Latin]]: ''Agrippina Maior''). Likewise, Agrippina's daughter is referred to as "[[Agrippina the Younger]]" (''Minor'').<ref>{{harvnb|Powell|2015|p=xiv}}</ref> Like her father, Agrippina the Elder avoided her nomen and has not been found to have used "Vipsania" in inscription.<ref name=Lott301>{{harvnb|Lott|2012|p=301}}</ref> An inscription in [[Rhodiapolis]] records her with the nomen "Julia", although this appears to be a mistake.{{sfn|Nuorluoto|2021|p=207}}
