The Phyreans, since the era of the Duumvirate of Phyrea and Krasnia, have had a quite complex onomastic history. Before this era, until the end of the First Phyrean Empire, Phyrean names consisted of a name and a patronymic. With the reforms put in place by King Piarfant a Hynfl, people were now separated into 144 groups of families called clans, with 68 reserved for the original families of Caladae, 36 reserved for high-status families, all of whom ethnically Phyrean or Darsavian, and 40 for minor ones, who belonged to different ethnolinguistic groups such as Nademics. Thus arose the clan name, a consistent lineage name passed down through the male line, usually based on the name of an ancestor. These gentile names survive to the modern day in the form of surnames.
