    I could see the Surname being the name of their father. So if Radovan had a daughter named Ziva, she'd be Ziva Radovan.

    Just to be clear for any people who haven't read the sticky yet, here are two lists of definitely Hrothgar female forenames.

    From the list of surnames for males serving living queens, remove the A-:
    • Mira
    • Zora
    • Vesna
    • Zorya
    • Stana
    • Rodica
    • Milan
    • Mirka
    • Svana
    • Vira
    • Redna
    • Zetina
    • Stolla
    • Marya
    • Tolna
    • Tessa
    • Yurya
    • Mov
    • Deanna
    • Jolla

    From the list of male surnames with dead queens, remove the -sch:
    • Zlata
    • Liuba
    • Branka
    • Tira
    • Ratya
    • Slana
    • Enya
    • Nata
    • Svena*
    • Dita
    • Anatalya
    • Inivi
    • Jova
    • Ona
    • Petya
    • Lina
    • Ulga
    • Maev
    • Lentya
    • Ova

    * In the case of Svena, I'm assuming the name in the lore sticky was meant to be Svenasch, though I'm tickled by the alternate universe where the typo was meant to be Svensch indicating the existence of a Queen Sven.

    Do you not think it would be quite strange for a heavily matriarchal society to place that level of importance on a mate's or father's name?
