It looks like Roman philosopher Cicero ‘s name is linked to this word.
Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 BCE) is best known to posterity as a prominent statesman and orator in the tumultuous period of the late Roman republic. As well as being a leading political actor of his time, he also wrote voluminously. Among his writings, around a dozen philosophical works have come down to us.

Samitnjayah- 362- one who is victorious in Samithi.
My comments
Samithi gave birth to the word Committee in English. C should be pronounced as S. This is Rig Vedic word where it meant Assembly. So the Mother of Parliament is in the Rig Veda. Another word for the same is Sabhaa. This Rig Vedic word gave birth to Tamil word Avai, now used for State Assembly. It shows Rig Vedic people set up the two houses of Parliament.

Purandarah – 335
One who destroys the cities of the enemies of Devas.
My comments
This epithet is used for both Siva and Vishnu. In the Vedas destroying forts is attributed to Indra. Lot of people misused the word to accuse Indra as the destroyer of Indus Valley cities. Nowadays that controversy is settled, because we knew the civilisation disappeared due to climatic changes.

Manu -51; Swayyambhuuh –37
Both referred to Manu who appears in Rig Veda many times.
But according to Shankara the meaning is,
He who thinks; or He is called Manu because he manifests in the form of mantra and of Manu (Patriarch)
The story of Manu and Great Floods is in all religions. He was the one saved all creatures. The author of Manu Smrti is also considered a historical figure.
