Roegadyn / Naming The Roegadyn of " Final Fantasy XIV " bear names similar to those of the Galka of " Final Fantasy XI " ; the Sea Wolves ' names are very difficult to read and pronounce , while the Hellsguard names are adapted to the common Eorzean language ( for our purposes , English ) . Sea Wolves . Sea Wolf names are actually all formed from two words taken from the ancient Roegadyn language that the race ' s ancestors spoke before they came to Eorzea . The full known Roegadyn dictionary can be found here . The term " known " is used here because many Roegadyn words have been forgotten after generations of disuse , with only popular terms being passed down through names . Every so often , however , an old word is rediscovered in an ancient tome and added to the list for further generations to use . Male . Male names allow for more freedom than female names . Ahldskyf is a combination of Ahld ( meaning ' old ' ) and Skyf ( meaning ' ship ' ) . Rostnsthal is a combination of Rostn ( rusty ) and Sthal ( steel ) . Pronunciation of the names can be a bit easier after splitting the name into its two parts : Ahld + skyf ( read " ald - skeeff " ) . Fun Fact : The word Roegadyn actually means ' people of the rain ' : roega being a distorted form of the word ' roegan ' ( rain ) and ' dyn ' ( people ) , as the weather in northern islands from which they hail fluctuates from thick fog to torrential downpours . . . and that ’ s when it ’ s too warm for snow . Female . Female first names follow the same rules as male first names , except that the second word used in the names is almost always one of the following : Surnames . Sea Wolf last names can appear even more imposing , but in fact , they follow rules similar to the first names . A last name simply takes the father ' s name and adds either Syn ( meaning ' son ' ) or Wyn ( meaning ' daughter ' ) . For example , Limsa Lominsa Admiral , Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn could be broken down like this : ( Bloe ( blue ) + fhis ( fish ) + wyn ( daughter ) In other words , " Sea Wife , daughter of Blue Fish " Both ' thota ' and ' wyn ' translate as ' daughter ' ; however , the use of wyn is exclusive to last names . You will never see it used in a first name ( such as " Klynwyn " ) , as you will never see a last name that uses thota ( such as " Bloefhisthota " ) . Hellsguard . You will find the " old language " used in a lot of Sea Wolf names , as the Sea Wolves tend to adhere to the ancient traditions and customs of the northern islands from which they hail . The Hellsguard , on the other hand , are more prone to adapt to their surroundings , and often choose to ' translate ' their names from the old language to modern Eorzean . That said , the lines between the two clans aren ' t set in stone , and you will find some Hellsguard have chosen to use the old language in their names , and some Sea Wolves have given themselves " translated " names . Male . Male names are formed from two words ( usually a descriptor and a noun ) , and tend to draw heavily from nature , whether it be vegetable or animal , inanimate or animate , abstract or concrete . Female . Female Hellsguard names follow the same rules as those for male names . In addition , there are no restrictions on the second word ( as exist in Sea Wolf forenames ) . The only real difference between male and female Hellsguard names is that the latter tend to include plant imagery ( though there are many which do not ) . On the other hand , the use of trees , flowers , etc . is not exclusive to female names , as there are also many male names which incorporate them . Surnames . Highly independent in nature , Hellsguard despise being defined by the actions of anyone but themselves , and therefore those who leave their mountain homes for the city - states of Eorzea , will often completely drop their family names , choosing only to be referred to by their first . Pronunciation . When pronouncing Sea Wolf names , you can , for the most part , follow the rules of English . There are , however , some exceptions : Vowels : . AE : Somewhere between the ' e ' in ' egg ' and the ' ai ' in ' air ' depending on the consonant that follows it . Aergaent ( ambitious duck ) Y : A long ' e ' such as the ' ea ' in ' eat ' or the first ' e ' in ' Steve ' . Alyrblyss ( alder blossom ) OE : An ' ooh ' sound such as the ' ue ' in ' blue ' and the ' oo ' in ' I pity the foo ' . Broenloef ( brown leaf ) Consonants : . PF : Closer to an ' f ' than a ' p ' . Pfymskapf ( five sheep ) TH : More like a hard ' t ' than a soft ' th ' . Thosinsthal ( grey steel ) W : Somewhere in - between a ' w ' and a ' v ' : nowhere as hard as the ' v ' in ' villain ' , but with a little more zing than the ' w ' is ' west ' ( and nothing like how Chekov pronounces ' vessels ' in " Star Trek IV " ) . Wyznwilf ( white wolf ) G : Almost always hard ( like the ' g ' in ' guilt ' but not the ' g ' in ' page ' ) . The ' gin ' in Swygyn ( silent ) would NOT be pronounced like the drink ' gin ' but like the ' gin ' in ' begin ' . Swygynagat ( silent amber ) J : A ' y ' sound like in ' year ' and ' yummy ' . H : When paired with a vowel ( before or after ) , almost always silent . Junghsmhid ( young smith ) References . Official Forums ' Lore Section .
