Nomen habens hominis post ultima fata relinquo;
Nomen inane manet, sed dulcis vita profugit;
Vita tamen superest meritis post tempora vitae.

Peck:

A mortal's name I hold when he is dead,
Remains the empty name, though life has fled,
Yet for the good there is an after-life instead.

Ohl:

Holding the name of a human being, after death I am left behind. The empty name remains, but sweet life has fled. Yet life outlives death after life's course is run.
