Faerunian Names
Faerun is vast. Among humans atone, its inhabitants bear literally
thousands upon thousands of names. Some folk nave no surnames,
others have a common clan name, and others have a
"son/daughter of" appellation. In Tharsult, Tashalar, and the
Border Kingdoms, the word "sar" is much used. It means "of the
blood of," and denotes a famous ancestor—or falsely claimed
ancestor—-so that a farmer might be "Baer sar Thardizar," after
the famous warlord of centuries ago.
Older usages such as "of the" and the name of a trade or place
(such as Ruthrar o' the Forge and Sammert o' the Hollow) are
falling out of favor and arc now rarely heard. Only .wizards and the
most haughty adventurers use .personal achievements in their
names, such as Dastrin of the Three Thunders or Belgaert of the
Deadly Stand, and this, too, is dying out. Occupations can be seen
within names,, however: Tel is an old Word for "works at"-or "works
with,"forar once meant traveler or peddler, belder was a guard or
warrior on patrol, turnskull was a digger, and turnstone a miller.
The names given here are by language, since areas sharing a
