Hyur naming conventions

Hyuran names in Final Fantasy XIV are based on European names, with slight modification.
== Midlanders ==
Midlander first names are based on Anglo Saxon, Celtic, and Briton names that appeared in medieval Europe. Last names are usually based on professions, or locations of where they or their families lived. They may also represent a person’s outward features (i.e. brown hair leading to the surname 'browne').

*Eddard Baker
*Petyr Stone

== Highlanders ==
Highlander names are based on Germanic or Norman roots. As the Highlanders are a warring race, their surnames tend to sound more harsh, as they will often adopt the colorful nicknames they have earned during battle. Highlander names are also noted in-universe to sound similar to Roegadyn names, leading to discrimination against Highlanders for being "less Hyuran".
=== Example names ===
==== Male ====
* Aethlwold Hunter
* Hunfrid Longblade
* Lewenhart Boarsblood
==== Female ====
* Sigberta Strong
* Orieldis Blacke
* Bergard Thorne
