Capitus Diminutio Minima



 








  









Capitis Diminutio Minima
(a minimum loss of status through the use of capitalization, e.g. John Doe)
- The
lowest or least comprehensive degree of loss of status. This occurred where a
man's family relations alone were changed. It happened upon the arrogation
[pride] of a person who had been his own master, (sui juris,) [of his own
right, not under any legal disability] or upon the emancipation of one who had
been under the patria potestas. [Parental authority] It left the rights of
liberty and citizenship unaltered. See Inst. 1, 16, pr.; 1, 2, 3; Dig. 4, 5,
11; Mackeld. Rom.Law, 144.








Sui iuris, commonly also spelled sui juris, is a Latin phrase that literally means “of one’s own laws”. In civil law the phrase sui juris indicates legal competence, the capacity
to manage one’s own affairs (Black's Law Dictionary, Oxford English Dictionary). It also
implies someone who is capable of suing and/or being sued in a legal proceeding
in their own name, without the need of an ad litem.  (ATTORNEY/LAWYER)








Thus in Roman law the caregiver or guardian of a spendthrift (prodigus) or of a person of unsound mind (furiosus), and, particularly, one who takes charge of the estate of an adolescens, i.e. of a person sui juris,
above the age of a pupillus, fourteen or twelve years (boys and girls,
respectively), and below the full age of twenty-five. Such persons were known
as minors, i.e. minores viginti quinque annis. While the tutor, the guardian
of the pupillus, was said to be appointed for the care of the person, the
curator took charge of the property.








The English word “autonomous” is derived from the Ancient Greek αυτονόμος (from autos - self, and nomos - law) which corresponds to the Latin "sui
iuris".








Brief summary: So Capitus diminutio Minima is your lawful Christian name that was given to you at birth with no rights abridged having the capacity to handle your own affairs in
respect to all things only answerable to YHWH.








So does this mean that If a change in the spelling of your name occurs then you can potentially lose part of this status of being governed by God?
