“Vok” actually means son, like “Son of (A part of their father’s name here)”.
Males often have their sire’s name, not all the time full.
It’s a way of telling others who their sire is. Or, some may keep an ancestor’s name as their last name as it may be more iconic for other’s to remember. It’s up to the parents, or the child when they’re old enough, which parent to add as their last names. Sons tend to take their sire’s, while daughters took their dam’s. While that’s the ‘norm’, males can easily take their mother’s name if they wanted to, etc.
“Invel” is the daughter term, but the “In” part is sometimes left out depending on the mother’s name. “Yinn” is a term for “my” but is also another way of adding “my daughter” to a name, it’s a more endearing form of naming that isn’t all that popular in the main Kurosian capital. Rather for Athrenna, it was common in her village, and is often more popular in smaller, more homey settlements of dragons.
This can be seen as really weird if the child didn’t know their parent or weren’t that close to them, so if say a great great great great greeeeeeeeeeeeat child of Ea’Gann had Ea’Yinn as their last name or some form of it, and she never met them and they hadn’t done anything to make a name for themselves, it’d be seen as boasting and eating off someone else’s fame. It happens, especially to generations later that want others to see them as important due to who they’re related to yet aren’t remarkable themselves.
With Kurosia, the land is massive enough that there are tons of dialects, accents, and traditions of the culture. The Kurosian capital is the heart of all the Kuros, where all the variants of their cultures are gathered in one gigantic city.
