The Usonii are a patrician gens within Imperivm Romanvm, founded by Gaius Usonius Nicolaus.

Etymology

The gens Usonii derives from Usonia, an archaic designation of the United States of America meant to reflect specificity over the more broad designation of America. The term derives from 'United States of North America,' Usona, fitted with the Latinate suffix -ia to designate a place or region.
