I think you're being too eager to apply an unproven idea to a character who has no reason for us to assume is part of it. We don't know for certain why Wawlika and Nitowikwe have Tonawawtan names and they're not a big enough sample size to say that it's because there are Xbr'aal mixed in with the Tonawawta population. There are no others in the towns, and the one other Xbr'aal we encounter in Xak Tural (Br'uk Vaw from the Serpentlord FATE chain) has a standard Xbr'aal name.

Logically it's clear that Koana isn't using either of his adopted families' naming conventions (found by a Pelu and then adopted by Mamool Ja) or any of the other distinct Turali name groups, leaving the only options to be the Xak Turali cluster of names and there's no reason for him to have been given a Shetona or Tonawawta name.
