North Volaryn Names

North Volaryn names are names commonly used, or originating from areas commonly populated by North Volaryns. A common version of a North Volaryn name consists of a given name, a middle name, and a surname. In Nogodrick (Soldakia), a person must have a first, middle, and last name on their birth certificate.

Despite the generally consistent naming convention, some cultural or linguistic differences rise between the different groups. For example, Norjen names are culturally patronymic for sons, and matronymic for daughters. Notable examples of Norjen p/matronymic surnames include Tomasson, and Anadoter. In addition, the Volaryn (not to be confused with the umbrella term) ethnic group maintains the ancient toponymic naming tradition, in addition to eke-names. Volaryn surnames include "de Tibrender", meaning "the fearslayer", and "vof Helmgard" (of Helmgard).

The surnames of the Alsesian Noble Houses are protected, and cannot be adopted by anyone who does not descend from or marries into the families. When an individual marries into the family, the surname is automatically granted to women, but for a man to take his spouse's surname requires the consent of the House Lord.
