Mattinese names names are names used in, or originating in,
Mattinese-speaking areas. A complete name usually consists of a given name, commonly referred to as a first name, and a (most commonly patrilineal) family name or surname, also referred to as a last name; besides there‘s also a middle name, which is often a patrilineal name.Mattinese names follow the western order, that is, the surname or family name is placed after the personal or given name.
A common Mattinese placeholder name is John Mong
Most given names used in
Mattinese-speaking areas do not have Mattinese derivation; besides, due to sound changes in the history and a strong influence from Norman French, Mattinese given names often sound very Anglic.Most traditional names are Hebrew (Daniel, David, Elizabeth, Susan), Greek (Nicholas, Dorothy, George, Helen), Germanic names adopted via the transmission of Old French/Norman (Robert, Richard, Gertrude, Charlotte), or Latin (Adrian, Amelia, Patrick). There are also given names of Slavic origin like Vasily and Vladimir, as Church Slavonic was the main influencer of Mattinese before Matitnese speaking areas were conquered by Normans and replaced Church Slavonic with French and Latin as the language of culture.
There are almost no given names which have an actual Mattinese derivation.
Mattinese surnames have a variety of origin, this is due to the fact that the modern territory of Mattinese consists of areas inhabited by peoples of different origin. Unlike given names, there are surnames which have an actual Mattinese derivation, and Mattinese-derived surnames make up some of the most common surnames. The top ten most frequent surnames in Mattinese Republic during the 1990s were:
1. Mong (inherited, cognates with
Modern Standard Sutti surname Monko)2. Jones (from John + the patronymic suffix -s/-os)
3. Druking (inherited, cognates with
Modern Standard Sutti surname Sukinko)4. Kvatch (of occupational origin, from Slavic languages)
5. Taylor (of occupational origin, from Old French)
6. Nan (inherited, cognates with
Modern Standard Sutti surname Nano)7. Keening (inherited, cognates with
Modern Standard Sutti surname Heininko)8. Bissing (inherited, cognates with
Modern Standard Sutti surname Pasinko)9. Metting (inherited, cognates with
Modern Standard Sutti surname Metanko)10. Keen (inherited, cognates with
Modern Standard Sutti surname Hein)Double-barrelled names may be formed for a variety of reasons, including combining of spouses' surnames upon marriage or, more commonly in the past, adding another family's surname as a condition of inheritance. Compound surnames in Mattinese feature two words, often joined by a hyphen or hyphens, with some families having as many as four words making up their surname. However, it is not unusual for compound surnames to be composed of separate words not linked by a hyphen.
Traditionally, the
Mattinese ending in -pa was reserved for noble families, commoners were disallowed to have a surname ending in -pa, as a result, all surnames ending in -pa have a noble origin, and families with surnames ending in -pa are usually noble families with a long history; however, the converse in not true, most noble families in the past did not have their surnames ending in -pa, and the most common ending for surnames of noble families is -ing, and the -ing suffix is often used as an equivalent of de of Romance-speaking regions and von of German-speaking regions; however, unlike the -pa ending, the -ing ending is not restricted to nobles, some commoners also have their surnames ending in -ing.The Paxpa (IPA: /pækspə/) family, the Gompa (IPA: /gɔmpə/) family, the Marpa (IPA: /mɑɹpə/) family, the Tumpa (IPA: /tʌmpə/) family and the Zonkpa (IPA: /zɔŋkpə/) family are the most prominent and oldest noble families of Mattinese people. They are not only the oldest families of the Mattinese people, but are also very prominent families of Mattinese people. Even now the aristocracy has been abolished in the Mattinese republic, members of these families are still some of the most prominent figures of Mattinese Republic in politics, business, academics and other areas.
Moreover, due to the influence from Indo-Europeans especially Romance- and Slavic-speaking peoples, Mattinese people have adopted elements of surnames from these peoples as well, for example, some Mattinese surnames, especially some surnames from older noble families, has the Slavic-origin suffixes like -off, -sky, -ovitz, -ovitch, etc. But surnames in Mattinese are almost always gender-neutral due to 1. Mattinese has no grammatical gender and only has an animacy-based distinction in 3rd person pronouns 2. Mattinese has undergone sound changes that eliminated all final short vowels, which eliminated the gender markers in surnames of Indo-European origin, and the gender of Indo-European surnames are often determined by the last vowel of the word. During the transformation to a republic of the former Mattinese Kingdom in 18th-mid 19th century, many of the aforementioned noble-signifying elements in surnames have fallen into disuse.
