History
Culture
Onomastics
Deep South Coscivians have an inventory of names that reflects the many different cultural influences in Sydona over the centuries.
Austral Coscivians are more likely than other Coscivian-Kiravians to bear Latinate forenames. Most such forenames have Christian associations, such as Aþanasius, Íoanpetrus, Nicoláus, and Águstin for men and Varya, Ècaterina, and Viloména for women. Many Austral Coscivians have Coscivised surnames with their origins in other languages, indicating Salesian, Pelian, or Leinlandic ancestry. Examples of common Coscivised Salesian names include Harínton (from Harrington) and Vénvrædin (from Wainwright). The morphemes -haya- and mani usually indicate a Pelian etymology.
Deep South Coscivian surnames commonly end in the suffixes -ryn, -syn, or vyn. While these suffixes are not unique to Deep South Coscivians, they are exceptionally frequent in Sydona.
