. Cissonius (also Cisonius) is an epithet of the Roman god Mercury recorded in Latin votive inscriptions of the Gallo-Roman period. It is among the native surnames of Mercury that recur at several sites in the western provinces, with dedications concentrated in Germania Superior and the neighbouring parts of Gallia Belgica, Germania Inferior and Raetia. Most texts pair the name with Mercury as Mercurius Cissonius, although in a few dedications Cissonius is invoked without Mercury. The name is attested only in inscriptions, and its meaning is disputed.
