Naumes names

Naumes names belong to a closed class set of names, with every name being a fossilized form of it's Old Naumes ancestor or borrowed from other nearby languages. This marks the Naumes people as peculiar among the peoples of Malomanan as they are the only people to have no productive method of name creation (except for the suffixes explained below). Names that descend from Old Naumes tend to be dithematic, made up of two elements compounded together. A lesser amount of names are monothematic or made of a single element such as a single adjective, noun or supine verb. | Hypocoristic names are shorterned forms of dithematic names and in some cases have become full names in their own right. Such names are formed by attaching the suffixes -ies (for men) and -æl (for women) onto either the first or second element of the name.

A small handful of names were borrowed from Old Moca. These include Nauiælæ (<Nazuker), Uojælæ (<Drūkāger) and Yàunlo (<Gēsūnör).

The original Old Naumes name will be displayed in brackets after each name.

The icon † denotes a stem that is no longer productive in Modern Naumes.

Monothematic names
Monothematic names in Naumes are mostly made of names which descend from Old Sumrë names, and so the meaning and internal division of those names is blurred thanks to sound changes so they are seen as one element to Old Naumes speakers. A small amount of monothematic names are simply single words from Old Naumes. The names that descend from Old Sumrë names are usually those of individuals in mythology or semi-historical figures, for example the names of the first humans said to exist are very popular among the Naumes as personal names (those names in particular go much further back to Proto-Sumro-Naukl).

=Surnames=

The Naumes people take on two surnames. The first surname can be any word so long as it alliterates with the father's forename. The second surname can also be any word so long as it alliterates with the mother's forename.

Examples:
 * Maele Áele Bàim (Maele sun orca) - with the father Amöe and the mother Bàimso.
 * Bhàundhyielle Nogwauiogwa Iahfala (Bhàundhyielle cutting inspiration) - with the father Noiasue and the mother Ielale.
