This is the official naming conventions found on the forums about the Hyur race:
Hyur Naming Conventions
––––––––––––– Hyur – Midlanders –––––––––––––
Hyuran first names are remarkably similar to Anglo Saxon, Celtic, and Briton names that appeared in medieval (pre-17thth century) Europe.
Last names are usually based off of professions, or locations of where they or their families lived. They may also represent a person’s outward features (i.e. brown hair leading to the surname ‘browne’)
Male
Eddard Baker Petyr Stone Belmont Miller
Female
Isolde Stark Hester Skinner Joyse Browne
–––––––––––––- Hyur – Highlanders –––––––––––––-
Highlander first names are remarkably similar to medieval European names that have Germanic or Normandic roots.
As the Highlanders are a warring race, their last names tend to sound more…violent, as they will often adopt the colorful nicknames they have earned during battle.
Fun Fact: Some Midlanders like to joke that because Highlander names have a very Roegadyn feel to them (in addition to highlanders being very large and muscular), that the clan is somehow “less Hyuran.” Many an alehouse brawl has broken out as a result of a Midlander in his cups uttering such quips as ‘Your mother was a Sea Wolf ’ in the presence of a Highlander. Needless to say, most of these quarrels do not end well for the instigator.FFXIV
