The letters of the Roman alphabet have different names in different languages. Do we know what names the Romans gave the letters of the alphabet?

Yes, we do.

In short, the Romans called the letters of the alphabet by sounding their sounds, with the addition of a vowel if needed.

Vowels were sounded long when referring to them in isolation: ā, ē, ī, ō, ū.

Plosives take a vowel after them: bē, cē, dē, gē, pē, tē, with k being rendered as cā and q as cū.

Continuants tended to be rendered with a short vowel preceeding: ef, el, em, en, er, es. x was typically ex, but ix by analogy to Greek, and also xi on analogy to later Greek, are found.

h if named is hā. The other borrowed Greek letters are y and z. The former was named variously hy or ī graeca later on, whereas the latter is given its Greek name zeta.
