In the past, and especially before the adoption of surnames, it was customary for husbands to add, after the matronymic, the wife's given name in dative case to show family ties. Today, this usage is not officially kept aside for temple registrations; in this system, the above-mentioned man in the example would be Martayināvi Lairyom Hulyāyærās ''Kāltarvān''. | In the past, and especially before the adoption of surnames, it was customary for husbands to add, after the matronymic, the wife's given name in dative case to show family ties.

Monks in most monastic orders change their surname after ordination: in the majority of them, they keep the matronymic but replace their surname with the name (in exessive case) of either the current Head Monk or the Head Monk of their monastery at the time of their ordination, preceded by ''yamei'' or ''brausire''<ref>In the romanization used here, such monastic names have a hyphen after ''yamei'' or ''brausire'' instead of a space.</ref>; Head Monks of monasteries using the former system only use the matronymic and the given name. In other monasteries, monks use the genitive case of the name of their monastery as a surname; in a minority of them, monks keep their birth surname. | |||
