Glossary of Tipsprek names
An incomplete Glossary of Tipsprek names. Tiperyner naming custom typically structures a person's name as given name followed by matronymic name (derived from the mother's given name) followed by family name. Matronymic middle names usually end with the suffix -stot for daughters and -soan for sons. For example, Gesina Danijelastot Vilsma is a typical Tipsprek woman's name, while Gerit Ingelsoan Jongbloed is a typical man's name. Additionally, within the past century, the suffix -stroz has grown in popularity as a gender-neutral suffix that literally means "the pride of", euphemistically referring to one's children. For example, Evastroz means the "child of Eva". Patronymic names are never applied as middle names, but sometimes show up as family names. For example, Alansoan (meaning son of Alan) was the family name of the explorer who discovered New Valentina.
