This article explains the standard construction of a name from Natuliró. It consists on a given name, which is usually modified, followed by a surname which is matro/patronymic (better explanation below). The natural way people are addressed is their given name, using the surname for more formal or official cases.

Given names

Given names in Natuliró are usually derived from normal nouns with positive or neutral connotations. Parents are given the freedom to invent new names, which often results in names with no real meaning.

Given Name Change

Once Tuyúút reach legal adulthood, they are offered to change their given name without any charge when acquiring an official identity. For that purpose, a meeting with a consultant is made.

The Tuyúút may:
  • Keep their current name
  • Take a nickname as name
  • Modify their current name
  • Take or modify another existing name
  • Take or modify an existing word as a name
  • Derive a name from existing words and/or names
  • Invent from gibberish, without necessary meaning.
Stipulations:
  • The new name must not be a joke. This includes:
  1. Slang
  2. Certain body parts
  3. Bodily fluids
  4. Swearwords
  5. Names of illnesses
  6. Intentional onomatopoeias
  7. Whatever the consultant considers inappropriate
  • The name must preferably consist of no more than two syllables. Exceptions can me made.
  • The name must preferably be easy to pronounce. Exceptions can me made.

Surnames

Construction:

Contemporary last names consist of three parts:

A) = Younger parent’s given name.
B) = Older parent’s given name. The stress of this one is preserved.
C) = Suffix. If B ends with a consonant, –ip. Else, –nu.

When both the end of A and the beginning of B are consonants, if it’s hard to pronounce together, like in Gos-Záya, only A’s is kept: Gosáyanu.

History

Until some centuries ago, there weren’t official last names in Natuliró. However, people in Cúfti were identified by both their parents’ names (e.g. Gos Záya) in no specific order, although generally the most known parent first, followed by pip (child) or énu (baby). These later started being fused into one word.

Although different methods of surnaming were used in different zones of the territory, this is the one that was eventually officialized and standardized in the 1520s

International

When foreign people with different naming systems become citizens, they are registered with their most common name as given name and their most relevant last name as surname. If this person has children in Natuliró, their children will be registered with the usual surname system.
