Scellan/Names

• Adetsib names?

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 his given name and surname.

All married persons retain their original surnames. [There is no legal concept of marriage in modern Eevo-speaking societies, in fact.]

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
• Craimb (/kʰraimp/, 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.")
• Pda (/pʰda/, from Windermere păda, "master") = Dr. (for people with a PhD equivalent)
• Þwzryhóom (from Windermere mo-thușrăhoam 'who is very honored', abbrev. Þzh') is a postposed title approximately meaning "Most Honorable" or "Most Esteemed"; used of a person of especially high rank

Using Bandwr, Craimb or Sgial with the person's surname is used for strangers or higher-ranking people.

Using Bandwr, Craimb or Sgial with the person's given name 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.
