ArchivesFeminine form of Aniketos/Anicetus?
From what I gather, Aniketos is simply composed of negative prefix 'a-' and victorious 'nike.' However, I still don't have my grasp of patronymics down and I don't know what the first choice of feminine suffix would be, such as '-e', '-eis', etc. Any thoughts?

I believe that the feminine form of Aniketos would be either Anikete or Aniketa, though I would lean toward the former, while that of Anicetus would doubtlessly be Aniceta according to Latin grammar.

I'm only familiar with the feminine forms of this name in French and Polish.
In Polish it's Aniceta (ah-knee-TSEH-tah) with masculine form Anicet.
In French the feminine form is Anicette (ah-nee-SET) with masculine form Anicet.
The Russian masculine name Nikita comes from this Greek name as well.
