If a child of person or persons that bear two surnames has to be named, usually it is hard what surname to choose, too.
There also exist middle names. All of them are unisex and they are derived from Niryokulta words for things, objects and natural phenomenons important in thereligion; they usually end with ''-u''. A person is allowed to choose one themselves. Middle names were popular in a past, though nowadays they are less common and used rather by religious people.

''Allit'' is Yokultan oddly specific word for "mind, intelligence, peace, rest, meaningfulness; general state of mind achieved throughout life; ascendance, the peace in one's life".

The most important part of Yokultan mythology are various species of animals of the Arctic. For example, orca is known as the guard of the seas, ''ŋahkaravšet'' in [[Niryokulta]], and therefore vast majority of Yokultans do not hunt them because it was believed that dead orca brings bad luck. People nowadays still tell stories about a whaler that hunted and killed an orca, though then got stuck in a horrible storm that lasted for three days.

Names

Yokultan names make an important part of the religion.

A number of Yokultan given names are unisex, though most is gendered. Surnames usually end with -vis, an adjective marker, and they usually are just normal adjectives found in the language. The surname always follows first name. Since not a lot of people are married so the parents have both different surnames, the surname is usually inherited patrilineally; in some cases, a child is given surnames of both parents. Later, the child can choose whether they want to bear both names or just one of them, so they can give up one. It is though considered disrespectful towards whole family. If a child of person or persons that bear two surnames has to be named, usually it is hard what surname to choose, too.

There also exist middle names. All of them are unisex and they are derived from Niryokulta words for things, objects and natural phenomenons important in thereligion; they usually end with -u. A person is allowed to choose one themselves. Middle names were popular in a past, though nowadays they are less common and used rather by religious people.

The last kind of name that can be given is a tribe name. It is used only for people practising the Yokultan religion and it is patrilineally inherited. They are rare and some people even give up the name. The overall order of names is: first–middle–surname–tribe.

Allit

Allit is Yokultan oddly specific word for "mind, intelligence, peace, rest, meaningfulness; general state of mind achieved throughout life; ascendance, the peace in one's life". Every Yokultan practising Ahpejokulčaldid intends to reach allit in their life and keep it throughout their whole living.

Mythology

The most important part of Yokultan mythology are various species of animals of the Arctic. For example, orca is known as the guard of the seas, ŋahkaravšet in Niryokulta, and therefore vast majority of Yokultans do not hunt them because it was believed that dead orca brings bad luck. People nowadays still tell stories about a whaler that hunted and killed an orca, though then got stuck in a horrible storm that lasted for three days.
