Old Shalaian/Names

Shalian transcriptions of English names normally use the closest approximation to the Conservative RP pronunciation (e.g. Káisi 'Casey'), but are sometimes somewhat etymologically informed (e.g. Għídna 'Edna', from Hebrew *ʕidnā). This page describes native Shalian names which are sometimes used.

Structure

Most people who use Shalian names either use a new Shalian given name and keep their original surname, or use a full name consisting of 3 to 5 Shalian names. There are no true family names in Shalian as used in AETHER, since families as we know them no longer exist as social units; however, one may choose to take a partner's surname if they have one. Some people may give themselves invented Shalian family names.
