The gens Egnatia was a plebeian family of equestrian rank at ancient Rome.
At the end of the Social War, the greater part of these appear to have removed to Rome, where two of them were admitted into the senate, though a branch of the family seems to have remained at Teanum.
[1][2] The first of the Egnatii known to history bore the Oscan praenomina Gellius and Marius.
The Egnatii who settled at Rome favoured Gnaeus, but also made use of Gaius, Lucius, Marcus, and Publius.
Most of the Egnatii bore no cognomen, but individuals are known with the surnames Celer, Maximus, Rufus, and Veratius.
