Kint name

Kint names are names used by people from Kint and the surrondings regions in Enrrū. They were originally comprised of a simple given name and a placename of origin (in the genitive case). With the advent of the aristocracy, the classical naming customs were supplanted by a more complex array of given and family names that vary depending on one's social status and class.

Names of commoners
Commoners have the simplest names of all. Usually, especially amongst peasants, they consist of a simple given name followed by a surname, coming from one's place of birth or residence, the name of one's mother or father (in the genitive case) or by one's occupation (in the nominative).

For example, a rural commmoner's name may be Sīt Kipelgel (Sīt of Kipelg), Elguhl Ūztel (Elguhl, son of Ūzt) or Ūd sīsgimp (Ūd the seamstress).

In urban areas, workers and artisans follow these same customs, but also often include a family name between their given name and surname. It is usually the name of an important ancestor or of the house of their family, if it has a name. As a result, one is more likely to encounter names such as Gdad Ptekat sīslit (Gdād Ptekat the smith) or Sirīn Higdāhk Umnel (Sirīn Higdāhk 'Newhouse', daughter of Umn) in the city.
