Name structure:

(place name +bèu)/(honorific) + surname + bèu + given name

eurǐ-gǎlbishìr bèu shéuthabbi: eurǐ is the honorific, referring to a professor or teacher. gǎlbishìr is the surname, plus bèu, and then the given name shéuthabbi.

ìodovòn bèu bivlògol bèu vābri: ìodovòn is the placename, the place the family originates from, plus bèu, followed by the surname bivlògol plus bèu, and then the given name vābri.


Honorifics:
In casual speech honorifics may be dropped though a few tend to still be used. In polite/formal situations most honorifics are used consistently, especially professional honorifics.
Honorifics are not used when the placename is used.

note: unless specified otherwise, honorifics function as a prefix and don’t replace the name.
-------------------------------
  • iv - patron saint, martyr--not in the Christian sense, but with a similar concept. One who has died and been remembered but also, specifically, who is assigned a certain value, meaning and theme. Less about holiness and more about remembrance. Not even remembrance of a specific person but of those who came before, and those who were left behind. Their purpose is not to protect or serve whatever the subject is--Patron Saint is a misleading translation--but the be remembered and to listen to prayers passively.
  • ilo - used with adults and equals, equiv to mr./ms.
  • thi - diminutive/friendly honorific, for use with close friends, children, siblings, etc. similar to chan
  • eurǐ - professors, teachers and educators
  • veur - high ranking religious officials and the names of religious locations and holy sites (“Holy _”)
  • veurā - replaces the entire name, high ranking religious officials only (ie “Your Holiness”)
  • rà - religious workers and helpers of lower ranking than above (“Father _”)
  • abi - scientists and engineers (“Dr. _”)
