Meaning of name
[edit]I've removed the claim that "The name Trimalchio is Semitic and means 'thrice-blessed'." The prefix tri- means "thrice" in Indo-European languages, but not in Semitic languages, which generally don't allow consonant clusters at the beginning of a word. As for -malchio, I could believe it's related to the Semitic word for "king" (Hebrew melekh, Arabic malk), but not to the Semitic word for "blessed" (involving the consonants B-R-K, cf. Hebrew Baruch and Arabic Barack/Mubarak). +Angr 13:18, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Someone keeps changing his name.
[edit]Hello admin of Wikipedia, if you are reading this right now... Someone keeps changing his name from "Gaius Pompeius Trimalchio Maecenatianus" to "Lucca Ellen Christensen"! Which isn't roman at all! and also he isn't Danish at all because the work is actually Roman. So I would to suggest to remove "Lucca Ellen Christensen" and keep "Gaius Pompeius Trimalchio Maecenatianus". Because that is the right name according to the sources.
