Structure

Eevo names normally consist minimally of name + surname; the surname is inherited from the mother. The father's or mother's given name may be used between the name and the surname.

Notwithstanding the above, a person is usually known by their given name and surname.

Marital status is irrelevant, as there is in fact no legal concept of marriage in modern Eevo-speaking societies.

Given names

Compound words, bird names, flower names, and names of Talmic gods are common names.

Surnames

Common elements in surnames include:

• -on = adjectival suffix
  • Drysiñon, Jaivon
• cooð X = "son of X"
• gel X = "from X"
• -ind = often found in aristocratic names; from Old Eevo feind 'clan'
  • Bolltind
• rið X = son of X (Windermere)
• xev X = daughter of X (Windermere)
• -s = Sfətsiv genitive suffix, originally patronymic
  • Sgutsis, Salis, Chytcos, Vyjacs

Forms of address

Common modern Eevo forms of address include:

• Bandwr (/pantur/, abbrev. Bn') = form of address for an adult male, in the past used for married males
• Cremb (/kʰrɛmp/, abbrev. Cr') = form of address for a male minor, in the past used for unmarried males.
• Sgwil (/skõ/, abbrev. Sg'; from Old Eevo scúil) = Miss (for females of all ages, regardless of marital status; there is no equivalent of "Mrs.")
• Byða (/pəða/, from Windermere păda, "sage, teacher") = Dr. (for people with a PhD equivalent)
• Paþwzyhóom (from Windermere pathułăhoam 'highly honored', abbrev. Þzh') is a postposed title approximately meaning "Most Honorable" or "Most Esteemed"; used only for Skellan royalty
• For a person who has recently died (about 1 year ago or less), it is customary to use the honorific Fulámin 'remembered' (abbrev. F) after their full name.

Using Bandwr, Cremb or Sgwil with the person's surname (e.g. Bandwr Txojis) is used for strangers or higher-ranking people. Using these words with the person's given name (e.g. Bandwr Iisd) is a way of addressing or referring to people of equal or slightly lower rank while maintaining some distance from that person. In modern times it is still common in some institutions such as schools and universities (this is how students are addressed by other students, instructors and professors) but is becoming less common. Using the person's full name, for example Bandwr Iisd Txojis, is used in official contexts.
