The 30 curiae had each its distinct name,
which are said to have been derived from the names of the Sabine women
who had been carried off by the Romans, though it is evident that some
derived their names from certain districts or from ancient eponymous
heroes. Few of these names only are known, such as curia Titia, Faucia,
Calabra, Foriensis, Rapta, Veliensis, Tifata (Paul. Diac. pp49, 366; Fest. p174;
Liv. I.3;
Dionys. II.47; Cic. De Re Publ. ii.8).

Any mythological clue for these names?
