 All names are adapted into [[Chlouvānem|their language]], and follow its phonological rules and nominal declensions.
-Chlouvānem names are made by three different parts: the '''matronymic''' (in Chl. ''nāḍimāvi''), the '''surname''' (''leliėmihaloe''), and one or more '''personal''' (or '''given''') '''names''' (''lilahaloe'', pl. ''lilahalenī''— commonly just ''haloe/halenī'').

 All people, everywhere in the Inquisition, also have an unofficial but commonly used '''informal name''' (''laltihaloe'').
 The standard format is matronymic - surname - personal name(s) ; the latter are usually romanized in ''italic'' in order to better distinguish them.

 == Matronymics (nāḍimāvīye) ==
 The matronymic or ''nāḍimāvi'' (from ''nāḍima'', honorific word for "mother") are always the first part of the name and are also the simplest to form, by adding ''-āvi'' to the mother's (first) given name. For example, the children of a woman named ''Līṭhaljāyim'' will all have the matronymic ''Līṭhaljāyimāvi''.

 A few names have particular matronymics:
 * ''Martayinām'' (and other rarer names compounds of -yinām) has ''Martayināvi''
-* Nouns in '''-ė''' make their matronymic in '''-yāvi''', e.g. ''Lairė'' → ''Lairyāvi''
+* Nouns in '''-ē''' make their matronymic in '''-yāvi''', e.g. ''Lairē'' → ''Lairyāvi''
 * Nouns in '''-ca''' or '''-cha''' make their matronymic in '''-šāvi''', e.g. ''Lañekaica'' → ''Lañekaišāvi''
+* The common name ''Kālomīyeh'' has ''Kālomitāvi''.
+* ''Lākhnī'', ''Šarēṇī'', ''Irūṇī'', and other nouns with a final long '''ī''' keep the vowel, but shortened, e.g. ''Lākhniyāvi'', ''Šarēṇiyāvi'', ''Irūṇiyāvi''.
+== Surnames (lelyēmihalenī) ==
+The surname or ''lelyēmihaloe'' (from ''lelyēmita'' "family", and ''haloe'' "name") is of newer formation when compared to the matronymic, especially in rural areas. Chlouvānem people have a huge number of surnames, and there are different possible origins. The commonly accepted proportion of Chlouvānem surnames is that about 50% of them are matronymical; 30% are toponymic; 10% are occupational; 6% are cognominal, and the rest are either clan names from other civilizations or of unknown origin (most probably either clan or given names from Chlouvānemized peoples).
+===Surnames derived from a given name===
+Chlouvānem surnames derived from a given name are almost invariably matronymical. They may be formed with the following suffixes (mostly listed in order of commonness); note that the root name may also be (and often is) currently unused, regional (i.e. from a non-Chlouvānem language), vernacular (i.e. from a Chlouvānem-descended language), or even the diminutive of a given name:
+* '''-(y)æša''' (♂<small>MAR</small> ''-(y)ærās'', ♂<small>UNM</small> ''-(y)æmīs'') and '''-(y)æha''' (♂<small>MAR</small> ''-(y)ąrās'', ♂<small>UNM</small> ''-(y)ąmīs''): among the most common surname-forming suffixes. Examples include ''Lænkæša'', ''Chilmukæha'', ''Daleyæša'', ''Lūmāvæha'', ''Nīmulyæša'', ''Nilāmyæša'', ''Tainæha'', ''Hilviyæša''.
+* '''-nāri''' and '''-nārų''' (invariable): originally the genitive and the ablative of the otherwise obsolete collective suffix ''-nāras'' - therefore meaning respectively "of the descent of..." and "from the descent of...". Also extremely common, e.g. ''Taupanāri'', ''Hānyunāri'', ''Dēleninārų'', ''Håneināri'', ''Namihūnāri'', ''Nājalanāri'', ''Šulaghṇārų''.
+* '''-i''' or '''-ī''' or '''-ei''' (invariable): simply the genitive form of a noun; e.g. ''Lairī'', ''Lārti'', ''Hånei'', ''Dalaigani'', ''Mæmihūmei''. They are often not even declined.
+* '''-(i)bayeh''' (♂<small>MAR</small> ''-(i)bairās'', ♂<small>UNM</small> ''-(i)bemīs'') — e.g. ''Naišibayeh'', ''Bandimbayeh'', ''Šulamibayeh'', ''Laukimbayeh'', ''Nainibayeh''.
+* '''-haidī''' (invariable): originally the genitive of a compound form with name + ''haidā'' ("clan"); especially from the Eastern Plain, but now spread nationwide, e.g. ''Mirayuhaidī'', ''Darvaṃhaidī'', ''Ħārjahaidī'', ''Dānehaidī'', ''Buyāṃhaidī''.
+* '''-ga''' (invariable): a suffixed form of the appositive particle (that formerly also had a genitive meaning): e.g. ''Chališirelga'', ''Dānega'', ''Jādāga'', ''Lārtaga''.
+*'''-(i)taisa''' (♂<small>MAR</small> ''-(i)tairās'', ♂<small>UNM</small> ''-(i)tamīs'') — e.g. ''Hūmeitaisa'', ''Kæltaisa'', ''Læšitaisa'', ''Hālitaisa''.
+===Occupational surnames===
+Occupational surnames, being originally more informal than matronymic-derived ones, often trace their origins to non-Chlouvānem local languages. Most commonly they end in '''-i''' or '''-ga''' (or are prefixed with '''ga-''') if they refer to a workplace, in ''-a'' otherwise. Examples include:
+* ''Bhiti'', ''Vaihati'', ''Vihalga'', ''Vīyati'', ''Bīyati'', ''Gavīta'', ''Gabīhata'', ''Bīyā'' — all ultimately from the Chlouvānem root ''vīhatam'' (farm).
+* ''Andūra'', ''Ndā'', ''Ndarī'', ''Andīra'', ''Gāndārīs'' — from ''andṛ-'' (to build) or ''andarīs'' (builder)
+* ''Jarin'', ''Yarei'', ''Jariga'', ''Yarga'' (← ''yaryīn'' (brewer)); ''Lālta'', ''Lānda'', ''Lālga'' (← ''lālta'' (guardian)); ''Murdhāga'', ''Dhāna'' (← ''Murkadhāna'' (inquisitor)).
+Some occupational surnames are derived from tools or materials, either in direct case - e.g. ''Kumis'' (bamboo), ''Ṣāṭas'' (sword) - or from the genitive - e.g. ''Ṣāṭi'', ''Dhābrami'' (← ''dhābram'' (hammer)).
+In some cases, occupational surnames have been later extended with marriage-variable suffixes, so that forms such as ''Bhityæša'' or ''Ṣāṭibayeh'' may be found.
+===Toponymic surnames===
+Toponymic surnames are mostly derived from small places and usually end either in '''-i''' (the genitive form) or '''-(y)ai''', rarely with '''-ų'''. Examples include, from common nouns, ''Jāṇyai'', ''Jāṇų'', ''Amašai'', ''Hali'', ''Paɂītyai''; from proper nouns, ''Kahašai'', ''Pārindālyai'', ''Nurħalini'', ''Kārṣamūli''.
+===Other surnames===
+Other surnames include cognominal ones (''Māhāmanta'' "long nose", ''Tilipāram'' (← ''taili pārās'' "much hair")), Toyubeshian clan names - especially common among people from the East (e.g. ''Yatakoma'', ''Līkāntām'', ''Putahira'', ''Tandalara'', ''Kašiyota'', ''Yotamyutsu''), and other surnames whose origin is disputed, probably from former given names of other areas, especially from the South (e.g. ''Nāɂahilūma'', ''Ñahanimeh'', ''Hunipaira'', ''Lameihaljheh'').
+As with all other types of surnames, they also may have marriage-variable suffixes added, as e.g. in ''Līkāntāmæha'' or ''Putahiræša''.
+===Variable and invariable surnames===
+Chlouvānem surnames, regardless of origin, may be '''variable''' or '''invariable''', with about 55% of people having a variable surname.
+Variable surnames have three forms: one for all women in the family, one for married men, and one for unmarried men.
+While typically it is the matronymic-derived surnames (and sometimes the placename-derived ones) that are variable, these suffixes have also been applied to other kinds of surnames - an example being the late singer-songwriter Lālašvātyāvi Kāmilñaryāh ''Turabayām'', whose unmarried surname was Kašahitræmīs (his mother was called Šulegāvi Kašahitræša ''Lālašvāti''), of clear Toyubeshian origin (cf. the existing, invariable modern surnames Kašahitah and Kašahitra).
+In most areas of the Inquisition, men take their wife's surname (in the married male form, if variable) when they marry - so for example a hypothetical Martayināvi Lantakæmīs ''Kāltarvān'' who marries the hypothetical Namihūlšāvi Hulyāyæša ''Lairē'' will be known as Martayināvi Hulyāyærās ''Kāltarvām'' after marrying. Their son Dalaigim's full name will be Lairyāvi Hulyāyæmīs ''Dalaigim''.
+In some places, this is not the case, and the husband keeps his birth surname, but if it is variable, it will shift to the married form anyway.
+Non-binary people get the option to choose either form, but once chosen it can't be changed without a long bureaucratic process.
+Birth surnames of married people, if needed to be cited (such as, for example, in encyclopaedical entries), are listed after all names and followed by ''gṇyauyų'' (ablative case of ''gṇyauya'', birth), often shortened to ''gṇų''; taking the previous example it would be Martayināvi Hulyāyærās ''Kāltarvām'', Lantakæmīs gṇyauyų.
+====Name of wife====
+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 ''Kāltarvām''.
-== Surnames (leliėmihalenī) ==
+===Monks===
-The surname or ''leliėmihaloe'' (from ''leliėmita'' "family", and ''haloe'' "name") is of newer formation when compared to the matronymic, especially in rural areas. Chlouvānem people have a huge number of surnames, and there are different possible origins:
+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.
-* Some have been derived by ancient matronymics (keeping the one of the grandmother of the first generation which had this surname), and are distinguished by ending in ''-æha ''or ''-æša ''instead of ''-āvi''. As this has a popular origin, the original name may not be recognizable, especially because of heavy shortenings and/or vernacular influence. Some examples include ''Lænkæša'', ''Nākāyæha'', ''Ñæhūvæša'', ''Lūmāvæha'', or ''Jėliāvyæša''.
-* Some names have been derived by "extended" genitives in ''-iai/-ьai'' (sometimes also seen in placenames), often with otherwise ''-mi- ''root extension and ablaut. The original roots are often common places or professions; examples are ''Yālcai'', ''Lanæmiai'', ''Ṣveimiai'', ''Mahāmiai'' (from ''amaha'' “abode”), ''Hāliai'', ''Lūlulkaicai'' (from ''lūlulkita'', a cocoa tree plantation), or ''Šītmiai''. A common subpattern includes the many different, vernacular-influenced, variations on ''vīhatam'' "farm", like ''Vīhešai'', ''Vaihātiai'', ''Bahāmiai'', ''Vīšmi'', or ''Bīhašai''.
-* A few surnames are derived by prefixing or suffixing the older genitive particle ''ga'': these are mostly originary of those areas where the local vernacular has a genitive with that origin, like the central-western Lāmiejāya plain; examples are ''Galeli'', ''Nānega'', or ''Pomega''.
-* Surnames derived from toponyms (of small places), especially through genitives or ''-ųu''. Many of these toponyms, like in all of the Inquisition anyway, are of non-Chlouvānem origin due to them having displaced earlier cultures. Examples are: ''Paramaiti'', ''Yuitani'', ''Jāṇųu'', ''Murtųu'', ''Halьcaici'', or ''Nuiñjuyai''.
-* A few surnames derive from occupations or tools, either in genitive case (e.g. ''Ṣāṭi'', ''Kolьcañī'') or in direct case (e.g. ''Kumis'', ''Drāṇīn'').
-* Many Eastern surnames have their origins in Kans-Tsan clan names, like ''Yatakoma'', ''Laranamon'', ''Hantokan'', ''Futahira'', or ''Līkāntām''.
-* Many surnames have unknown origin, most probably from non-Chlouvānem now displaced languages, especially in the jungle area. Examples are ''Nāʔahilūma'', ''Jāmatthāla'', ''Naiñoʔamė'', ''Lamichlīkyah'' or ''Nājihaufram''.
 == Personal names (lilahalenī) ==
 Chlouvānem personal names (''lilahaloe'', from ''lila'' "person" and ''haloe'' "name") have a large variety of origins.
-Names inherited by the Proto-Lahob culture, or the earliest Chlouvānem names, are usually made by two elements compounded together (a kind of bahuvrihi compound), like for example the male names ''Gāṇakvyāta ''"steel hero" or ''Hånisrajñās ''"friend of toucans", or the female ones ''Martayinām ''"city protector" or ''Ñaiṭasamin'' "star child". There are also names made by a single Chlouvānem word, like ''Lairė ''"sky", ''Yānāh'' “innocence” (both female) or ''Hånia ''"toucan" (unisex but mostly female).
+Names inherited by the Proto-Lahob culture, or the earliest Chlouvānem names, are usually made by two elements compounded together (a kind of bahuvrihi compound), like for example the male names ''Gāṇakvyāta ''"steel hero" or ''Hånisrajñās ''"friend of toucans", or the female ones ''Martayinām ''"city protector" or ''Ñaiṭanūrya'' "star child". There are also names made by a single Chlouvānem word, like ''Lairē ''"sky", ''Yānāh'' “innocence” (both female) or ''Hånia ''"toucan" (unisex but mostly female).
-Anyway, possibly the majority of nationwide Chlouvānem names are not inherited from Proto-Lahob, but originally from cultures of the central Lāmiejāya plain in prehistoric times, many without a known meaning. Such names include for example the female ''Hæniląuya ''and ''Namihūlśa'' or the male ''Lælithiam ''and ''Nuikthalin''. Other names with a known origin are for example the female ''Kūldendėla ''or ''Nariekaiṣa'' and the male ''Kāltarvān ''or ''Kāljivaṃṣān'', all of Ancient Yodhvāyi origin (once spoken in the current-day dioceses of Galiākñijātia and Yodhvāya). A few nationwide given names also have Ancient Kūṣṛmāthi or other origins, but they're much rarer.
-''-likā ''and ''-mitā ''are usually used to form female names from common words; male counterparts to female names are formed by changing the final vowel, usually ''-a'', with ''-mun''. This is part of a pattern that sees most male nouns being grammatically of lotus gender and most female ones of the parrot one. Only a few nouns are unisex, for example ''Kailnenia'' (though female in the vast majority of cases), ''Terintān'', or those ones formed with unisex names, like all of those with ''-samin'' (child).
+Anyway, possibly the majority of nationwide Chlouvānem names are not inherited from Proto-Lahob, but originally from cultures of the central Nīmbaṇḍhāra plain in prehistoric times, many without a known meaning. Such names include for example the female ''Hæniląuya ''and ''Namihūlša'' or the male ''Lælicham ''and ''Nūkthalin''. Other names with a known origin are for example the female ''Kūldendēla ''or ''Naryekaiṣa'' and the male ''Kāltarvām ''or ''Kāljivaṃṣām'', all of Ancient Yodhvāyi origin (once spoken in the current-day dioceses of Ajāɂiljaiṭa and Yodhvāya). A few nationwide given names also have Lällshag or other origins, but they're much rarer.
-Many areas of the Inquisition also have their own "local" names, taken from pre-Chlouvānem local languages; this is particularly common in the East with Kans-Tsan names, which often spread outside that area. Special mention also for the Dabuke female names ''Amabu ''and ''Nīmulšāmi'', which have spread outside the local area and are commonly given nationwide.
+Only a few nouns are unisex, for example ''Kailnenya'' (though female in the vast majority of cases), ''Terintān'', or those ones formed with unisex names, like all of those with ''-nūrya'' (child). ''-likā'' or ''-mitā'' are typically used to form female names from male ones, while male ones are formed by removing the final ''-a'' of a female name (if possible) and adding ''-gin''. There are, however, many exceptions to this rule.

+===Official adaptations of other languages' names===
+Names of foreign people, and foreigners that become Chlouvānem citizens, always get their name converted according to the official Chlouvānem equivalent; note, though, that this mostly applies to Western and Skyrdegan people. As most names from other cultures have no Chlouvānem equivalent but may have different forms depending on the language (cf. on Earth "John, Iōannēs, João..."), there is an Inquisitorial list of Chlouvānem equivalents for most common names. (Note that sometimes the common origin of two names was not recognized - for example Cerian ''Imúbánidu'' and Holenagic ''Hmiurvaisd'' [m̥ʲurjɛʃt] have the same origin, but correspond to adapted Chlouvānem ''Imūbāñjus'' and ''Mūryæṣṭas'' respectively, with Nivarese-derived ''Amuvranṣus'' making it a triplet.)
+As for adapting feminine names, most often the ''-n'' ending common to most Evandorian languages is scrapped or augmented with an ''-a'' (rarely ''-i''); on the contrary, ''-s'' or ''-s'' may be added to male names.
+The Chlouvānem versions of those names are often taken from the Auralian, Cerian, Nordulaki, or Majo-Bankravian dialects spoken in the northwest of the Inquisition; sometimes, however, they have been created ad hoc by the Inquisitorial Office for the Language. Finally, a minority is adapted from Holenagic (like ''Paistre'' [ˈpaʃtrə] → ''Paṣṭras'').
+Skyrdagor ''vysk-'' [vu͡ɯʃk-] "servant of", a component of more than half of male given names in Skyrdegan societies, is usually rendered as ''ūṣk-''.

+Foreigners that become Chlouvānem citizens always have a matronymic added, and the same is usually done also for and by people who have business with the Chlouvānem-speaking world or are Yunyalīlti (as, for example, the incumbent Minister of Agriculture of Holenagika, Qyqshdir Hgoabein [ˈqyqsir ˈɣɔbeɲ] is usually referred to as Yolkāvi Gåbeña ''Khyukṣṭih''). Other people are simply known by their Chlouvānemized names but without an added matronymic - like incumbent Cerian Prime Minister Pétéro Bafín is referred to as Bapīn ''Paṣṭras''.
+====Countries of the former Kaiṣamā====
+In the former Kaiṣamā, and for people with ancestry in those areas living in the Chlouvānem Inquisition, rules are typically less strict as the names are usually adapted as it is in their language.
+[TBA]
+In Bronic, Fathanic, and Qualdomelic names, matronymics are already a part of the name and the structure is similar to the Chlouvānem one, so that names are only adapted to Chlouvānem phonology - unless they are already of Chlouvānem origin - and reordered (both Qualdomelic and Brono-Fathanic names follow the structure ''given name + surname + (son/daughter of) + mother's name''). Their matronymics are cognates: ''jamwhaʰ'' "son of" and ''jamhniʰ'' "daughter of" in Qualdomelic; ''eimoa'' (''aemŏ'') "son of" and ''emine'' (''aemń'') "daughter of" in Bronic (Fathanic).
+For example, the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Qualdomelic Communist Party, Răjultiq Mittuc jamhni Whăngeă, is known in Chlouvānem as Kvalyāvi Mittuka ''Rayultikah''.
+Many people in Brono, Fathan, and Qualdomailor have also adopted the Chlouvānem marriage-dependant suffixes and added them to their surnames: their forms are ''-(j)ẹš'' (♂<small>MAR</small> ''-(j)ẹrá'', ♂<small>UNM</small> ''-(j)ẹmí'') in Qualdomelic; ''-esy'' (♂<small>MAR</small> ''-era'', ♂<small>UNM</small> ''-emi'') in Bronic; ''-aeš'' (♂<small>MAR</small> ''-araš'', ♂<small>UNM</small> ''-emiš'') in Fathanic. The current President of the Republic of Brono, Memioamy Antisioanesy emine Taeane, has both a Chlouvānem origin name and a Chlouvānem variable surname, and therefore she is known in Chlouvānem sources as Tahæniyāvi Antišvanæša ''Mæmihomah''. Her husband, Oarebato Antisioanera eimoa Tregeady, is referred to as Celyajāvi Antišvanærās ''Varebatu''.
 ==Informal names (laltihalenī)==
-The Chlouvānem informal name (''laltihaloe'', from ''lalteh'' (friend) and ''haloe'' (name)) is the form of the given name used in many particularly informal settings. As with all things informal in the Chlouvānem-speaking world, there is no uniform rule because they are deeply influenced by the local vernacular and, more often than not, they are never even used when speaking Chlouvānem as such kind of conversations may often be exclusively in the vernacular.<br/>However, there is a simple pattern that can be used in order to derive pan-Inquisitiorial informal names from given names: either the first or the stressed syllable of the name is taken, with optional vowel changes (usually ''a'' to ''æ'', ''æ'' and ''ai'' to ''e'', ''e'' to ''i'', and often ''o'' to either ''a'' or ''u''), and ''-ī'' for female informal names or ''-em'' for male ones. Female names often shift post-tonic velars, ''h'', or ''s'', to palatals.<br/>As different syllables may be taken, there are even for this pattern different possibilities. Some examples (usually, the more common a name is and the more informal forms it has):

 . When speaking '''of''' someone:
 * If the listener is likely to not know who the person spoken of is, the full three parts of the name are used (but sometimes the surname is omitted), usually with ''yamei'', a title (''lāma'', ''tanta'', ''suntam''), and usually the profession too (e.g. ''Martayināvi yamei murkadhāna Læhimausa lāma''), but no titles are used (only optionally ''yamei'') if they're of a lower rank — for example a teacher speaking about one of his/her students to another teacher;
-* If the person spoken of is respected (of higher rank), then the appropriate formula is used the first time they're mentioned, then the norm is to use a shorter form - in this case, a form like ''yamei Læhimausa murkadhāna'' is accepted, while it is not when speaking directly to that person. The higher rank that person is, usually the longer it takes to completely shift to a shorter form — e.g. while the Great Inquisitor will not be referred to every time as ''nanū aveṣyotāra lallāmaha Hæliyoušāvi yamei Dhīvajhūyai Lairė camimurkadhāna lāma'', it will not probably get shorter than ''nanū aveṣyotāra yamei lallāmaha'' ([Her] Respectable Most Excellent Highness) or ''nanū aveṣyotāra lallāmaha camimurkadhāna'' ([Her] Most Excellent Highness, the Great Inquisitor);

 * If the person spoken of is of equal rank, in a polite context they'll be referred to with ''tanta'' (the usual title for equal grades), or ''lāma'';
-* The use of the bare given name (or matronymic or surname) and of the informal name follow the same guidelines as when talking to that person. Note that, though, in a family context it will be more common to use the names of older family members in order to disambiguate about them (e.g. ''Amabu paṣmeinā ukulanilь Læhimausa paṣmeinā prišniliukula no'' (Grandma Amabu has spoken and Grandma Læhimausa has answered [her]).
