Increasingly, on the pages of Russian publications devoted to the study of the tradition of interpreting the Apostolic Epistles, one can find the name of the ancient Roman anonym Ambrosiaster. However, information about how this unusual name appeared in Latin patristics is often incomplete and distorted. This article contains the most reliable information from foreign research literature, in addition, describes the results of our own analysis of reminiscences of the Ambrosaster’s Commentary on the Epistle of Paul to the Romans in Latin writing. The analysis was carried out on the basis of the marker words methodology and the method of motivational analysis. The development of the question of the emergence of the name of Ambrosiaster is divided in the article into several stages: the attribution of his works by authors closes in time from saint Augustine to Cassiodorus; citation of his works by later Latin writers; development of the issue with the beginning of book printing. The article presents the most probable version of the appearance of the name Ambrosiaster.
