Hrakan Names

    Male hrakans typically have three names, the first two being personal, and the third a family name, which comes from the list of male personal names.  Females are named similarly, but have only one personal name.  The family name is passed down through paternal lineage, and typically remains constant over time.  Females take the family name of their husband upon marriage.  Males from families of good standing frequently attach the first name of their father with the prefex "ibn" (meaning "son of") to the end of their names, and may continue to do so with their father's father, etc.

eg:
Adar Khojasteh Goshtasb ibn Farid ibn Varazdad (Male)
Puran Goshtasb (Female)
