Serbinian names are rendered in the Western name order with the surnames placed after the given name. Influenced by the Spanish, today most Serbinians use both a paternal and maternal surname. Also, a patronymic and matronymic middle name is usually given; but this is only used in very formal situations.
Like their European ancestors, a child is given a first name chosen by their parents or chosen by godparents. Due to the ethnic diversity of the early settlers in modern Serbinia, many Serbinians have names of various cultures.
- Portuguese
- Гавје -(gavje) c.f. Gabriel
- Жујо -(ʒujo) c.f. João
- Марјана -(marjana) c.f. Mariana
- Софја -(sofja) c.f. Sophia
- Serbian
- Анастасја -(anastasja) c.f. Anastasija
- Богдан -(bogdan) c.f. Bogdan
- Бранимир -(branimir) c.f. Branimir
- Слажана -(slaʒana) c.f. Sladjana
- Japanese
- Акемиј -(akemi) c.f. Akemi
- Исамо -(isamo) c.f. Isamu
- Минако -(minako) c.f. Minako

Most Serbinians have name of Portuguese origin. This is due to the large influx of Portuguese settlers in Brazil.
Since the majority of Serbinian ancestors are Serbian, the names of many are of Serbian origin.
Many Japanese names are also present among Serbinians.
Many other cultural names of the ethnic and national groups that comprise the ancestors of the Serbinians are used. These include Italian, Spanish, German, Hebrew, Yoruba, Zulu and Korean given names.
Most Serbinian nicknames are adjectival in origin and denotes a personality or appearance trait of the person to whom it is given.
Others, however, are based on the personal name of someone. Nicknames for common personal names are:
- Марња - Марјана
- Тахиј - Такахиро
- Нако - Минако
- Таша - Анастасја
- Чучу - Жујо
- Брамиј - Бранимир
- Омис - Олувајемисиј
Family names to Serbinians are not surnames, but are patronymic and matronymic personal names which are used only in formal situations.
These names are a combination of the genitive form of the parent's name and a special affix used to denote either 'son of (mother)', 'daughter of (mother)', 'son of (father), or 'daughter of (father)'.
Patronymic
Patronymics are Russian in structure.
- -вич (vit͡ʃ) 'son of (father)'
- -вна (vna) 'daughter of (father)'
Matronymic
Matronymics are Hebraic in structure.
- -бен (ben) 'son of (mother)'
- -бат (bat) 'daughter of (mother)'
Surnames in the Serbinian culture are modeled after the Spanish. This means that Serbinians typically used double surnames. Also, upon marrying, women keep their surnames but includes the surname of the husband after the special marital preposition авек.
Examples
- Гавје Богданавич Акемијабен Аварис Ватанабе (gavje bogdanavit͡ʃ akemijaben avaris vatanabe) - Gabriel son of Bogdan son of Akemi Alvares Watanabe
marries
- Слажана Жујавна Марјабат Боржис Антонели (slaʒana ʒujavna marjabat borʒis antoneli) - Sladjana daughter of João daughter of Mary Bourgeois Antonelli
she becomes
- Слажана Жујавна Марјабат Боржис Антонели авек Аварис Ватанабе (slaʒana ʒujavna marjabat borʒis antoneli avek avaris vatanabe) - Sladjana daughter of João daughter of Mary Bourgeois Antonelli and Alvares Watanabe
As shown with the family names, affixes are used in the formation of other types of names in Serbinian. These other affixes vary based on who is using them, the person to whom one is referring and the person to whom one is speaking.
This familial affix is used when one is referring to the surname of someone familiar or close or with someone of the same family.
The familial affix is (а)ж.
Examples
- Ватанабеж - Ватанабе
- Аварисаж - Аварис
The humble familial affix is a separate word that is prefixed to the surname and is used when one is his or own surnames with someone who is not in the same family.
The humble familial affix is ду(с).
When both surnames are used, the conjunction ва is placed between them and the second surname does not have the prefix ду(с).
Examples
- Дус-Вандаик - Вандаик
- Ду-Шнаида - Шнаида
The polite familial affix is used when one is speaking to or about someone which whom they wish to show respect. It is most commonly used with people in positions of authority, with someone older and when a surname is used in public announcement.
The polite familial affix is (и)ша.
Examples
- Танакаша - Танака
- Бекериша - Бекер
There are two honorific familial affixes and they are circumfixes. One is used for men, while the other is used for women. The honorific familial affixes are used when addressing or referring to a member of the government (i.e. the President, Prime Minister, members of Parliament, local government officials, etc.) or in religious text.
The honorific familial affixes are а(л)- -(и)н for men and и(л)- -(а)т for women.
