Proensal names In the Four Realms family names are seldom, if ever, used. Common people will be almost invariably known by a nickname attached to their given name; e.g. a particularly stubborn character could be known as Arnaut Cap-de-peira (Arnaut the stone-headed). Noblemen will be known by their origin through the particle "de", which becomes d' before a vowel; so the current king of Aulenor is called simply Nimrot d'Aulenor. Family names are reserved for foreigners (mostly Haramaic people) who have one in their country.

Neogorhadian names In the Empire, only commoners use Neogorhadian names. Noblemen use the old, pompous Elder Gorhadian system. As a consequence, surnames are extremely seldom used. To discern one person from the other, on one hand people in the empire tend to be extremely inventive with given name, on the other they attach several things to them; among these the most common are: Geographical origin (through the preposition "da", shortened before a vowel): Vanni da Castroriente simply comes from Castrum Orientis, on the edge of the Bone Mountains Father (or sometimes, especially for artists, mentor) through the particle "di": Albero di Bocca would probably be Bocca's son Profession: Alberigo Monaco denotes a monk of some order The first two, and very seldom the third, are often combined, so that one could be called Vanni d'Aramano da Selen. Again, surnames indicate someone of foreign origin, or a decayed noble.

Haramaic names In the Haram Plateau there isn't any true nobility, and people move continuously, so they find it hard to refer to themselves by their birthplace, which they sometimnes don't even remember. They tend, at least if they can trace their lineage for some generations, to use surnames, which are in general just an immobilised form of the name of an ancestor, a trade, political party, or a town.

Clenian names Clenian names can be approximated to Viking names; you can find the rules to build these on this site; however, try to remember Clenians don't believe in any god, so you'd rather avoid those names beginning with Þor-
