Correct Answer: Tiberius
The answer is: Tiberius. James Tiberius Kirk’s middle name comes from his grandfather, Tiberius Kirk. The name Tiberius comes from Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus, the second emperor of Rome (I’m sure someone out there has written a dissertation on the significance of this).For the most diehard fans out there, you might be aware that the beloved Star Trek captain originally had a different initial for his middle name. But we’ll save that for another trivia question another time.Source
