Naming Conventions

The Naming Conventions of Tochi are dependent on one's social status.

No Last Name
The lowest members of society simply have no mid-name or last name. These are usually just peasants without any nobility in their blood. Examples of them include Rat, Jett, and Annabara.

Last Name
When allowed by a lord, a lowborn individual may be given a last name of their choosing. These can be given as gifts, rewards, or for any reason they deem appropriate. Examples include Caedric Kinkaid, Noran Blanche, and Karl Haarting.

Van
When a lord with a last name has governed for a long time, sometimes over generations, they may be given a mid-name and promoted to a Van. Though considered high-born, they are still looked down upon by the higher classes. Examples include Jitsu Van Yorling, Reese Van Por, and Dorter Van Harris.
