Naming in Xenara

Olden Times Nomenclature

ex. Han Swiftboot, Lene Shieldstorm, Gorag Bloomcaller, Serallea Wavedancer, Pizark Edgekin
First Name - any name really whether be it influenced by the nearby region or other things; this is also usually inspired by either the race of the person or the home environment of where they grew up on; an example of that would be an adopted goliath with his parents of druid halflings in a forest near a town, his name is Gorag Bloomcaller
Surname - usually a mix of two words either an adjective and a noun, a verb and a noun, or in some cases two nouns; the surname is usually a descriptor of the person on what they do or what can they do
Found everywhere in Xenara, the fusion of the old languages' naming scheme with the universality of common has made this nomenclature mainstream

Draconic Nomenclature

ex. Kha'lirost Lorvvaraxx, Lha'verinia Ezzadi
First name - starts with one syllable then an apostrophe is written before the next syllable is written
Surname - a family name of old, whether it be nobility or not; draconic nomenclature in common form have a lot of use of the letters: Z, X, V, K, W, T, & Y
Found as the mainstream naming scheme in Zroltol; a mix of dwarvish and draconic language precipitated this naming scheme

Oriental Nomenclature

ex. Griffon Kowalskitachi, Ainsel Anikasi, Kiri Hikiratu
First name - a name that can be not influenced by the region
Surname - a traditional clan surname or even a mix of one with a non-oriental name; an example would be Griffon Kowalskitachi with his parents' surnames of Kowalski and Shikitachi, surnames such as these when a non-oriental person is born is given a fusion of both of the parents' surnames
Found mainly in the Far East, a regional, traditional kind of script is seen from the nomenclature system; over the years, with more immigration happening, the nomenclature of the first name has opened up on using non-oriental names but still the surnames is a constant as a sign of tradition and even its evolution

Wildblood Nomenclature

ex. Cloud on the Mountaintop (Cloud), Five Leaves (Leaf), Jade Shoe (Jade), Left-Handed Hummingbird (Bird), Seven Thundercloud (Thunder), Skirt of Snakes (Snake), Smoking Mirror (Smoke)
A single name, determined by clan and based on a complex formula that involves astrology, prophecy, clan history, and other esoteric factors. The name usually has 2 nouns on them that can either be separated by one or two words that are either a preposition/article/conjunction. Wildblood names can apply to both males and females, and most use nicknames derived from or inspired by their full names. Clan names are usually based on a geographical feature located in or near the clan's territory or even the resources in the said area
This originated from the past of Wildblood races (tabaxi, canidae, etc.). Now, even non-wildblood races with wildblood culture, society, or community have started to use this during application for names or sometimes a combination of this and other nomenclature systems are done

Virtue Nomenclature

ex. Art, Carrion, Creed, Despair, Fear, Glory, Hope, Nowhere, Poetry, Quest, Random, Reverence, Sorrow, Torment, Weary
A single name that signifies a virtue or other concept that the person embodies. For some, the chosen name is a quest. For others, its a grim destiny.
This naming convention originated from the fiendish heritage of the Tieflings. Lately, alot of individuals who have aspirations, good or bad, have been renaming to this in records of society; a person usually gets their virtue name either by demand of the populace with fame (or infamy) or when a nickname of a person sticks throughout the years and papers have been filed for official renaming

Elvish Nomenclature

ex. Tharivol Galanodel, Carric Meliamne, Quelenna Siannodel, Theirastra Amastacia
Elves are considered children until they declare themselves adults, some time after the hundredth birthday, and before this period they are called by child names such as, Ara, Bryn, Del, Eryn, Faen, Innil, Lael, Mella, Naill, Naeris, Phann, Rael, Rinn, Sai, Syllin, Thia, Vall, etc.
On declaring adulthood, an elf selects an adult name, although those who knew him or her as a youngster might continue to use the child name. Each elf's adult name is a unique creation, though it might reflect the names of respected individuals or other family members. Little distinction exists between male names and female names; the groupings here reflect only general tendencies. In addition, every elf bears a family name, typically a combination of other Elvish words. Some elves traveling among humans translate their family names into Common, but others retain the Elvish version. The family names in elvish nomenclature translates into the same surname design of the olden times nomenclature. An example of this would be Siannodel is elvish for Moonbrook.
The elves have naming conventions developed and still is only seen in elvish communities that may sometimes bleed to half-elves in some parts of the world.

Xeno-Zamoran Nomenclature

ex. Manuela Casagranda, Hanneman von Essar, Ignatz Victor, Annette Fantine Dominic, Dedue Molinaro, Caspar von Bergliez, Hubert von Vestra
Zamorans have binomial naming. For commoners, this is true. Nobles from Crest families, on the other hand, are either named in the "<given name> von <house name>" approach or a trinomial (two given names plus house name) approach. Notably, the Adrestian Empire favors the former, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus favors the latter, and the Leicester Alliance uses both.

• Examples among the Adrestians are Edelgard von Hresvelg, Bernadetta von Varley, Ferdinand von Aegir.

• Examples from Faerghus include Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd, Felix Hugo Fraldarius, Ingrid Brandl Galatea.

• Examples from Leicester include Claude von Riegan, Lysithea von Ordelia (mimicking the Adrestian style), Hilda Valentine Goneril, Lorenz Hellman Gloucester (mimicking the Faerghian style).

The naming convention within Zamora is deeply rooted in the class system of the region. Crest bearing families' names differ from those who do not. Regional variations (within Zamora) are present but there will always be a common tie to the nomencalture of Zamora.
