SECOND NAME
The
second name is locative and is determined by the Rihannha's birthplace
or clan of origin. This locative name is prefixed by i- (in the
city of) or ir- (in the region of). There are three forms of locative
names, each describing a different type of background and distinguished
by the name's prefix.
The
first form of place name begins i- meaning, from the city of.
The second form of place name begins ir- meaning from the region
of. A region is a rather nebulous term encompassing anything from
a small province on a heavily-populated world such as Romulus
to an entire colony world, depending on the population.
The
final and rarest form of the locative name is used only by nobility
who have a family name other than the one they were born with.
Usually, this happens through marriage, although occasionally
adoption will require it. In this case, the person changing their
name would take their old family name as their locative name using
the prefix e-, meaning 'of the family of.'
