Aliens and their Naming Conventions(DC Comics)

This was a lot of fun, though I was surprised how little information the internet had for me. Not sure why I was surprised, but surely someone has done this before me.

Kryptonians

Kryptonians have the most well known naming conventions that I can find. You probably know the basics.

Male names are 1-2 syllables(usually one) followed by a hyphen and the father's 1 syllable family name.

Female names are 2-3 syllables(rarely 1, usually ending in a vowel, often an 'a') followed by the father's full name.

Examples:

Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van -> son is Kal-El

Zor-El and Alura In-Ze -> daughter is Kara Zor-El

Other Examples:

Dru-Zod

Xa-Du

Val-Ty

Hatu-El

Faora Hu-Ul

Asha Del-Nar

Fedra Shu-El

Tes Ak-Var

Tamaraneans

We know very little about the Tamaranean language, or about Tamaranean names.

They seem to have a single name. Most seem to be between 2-4 syllables. It's possible that children are given the same final syllable as one of their parents, but this may be restricted to the royal family, or just be personal preference for Koriand'r's parents.

Example:

Myand'r and Luand'r -> daughters are Koriand'r and Komand'r and son is Ryand'r

Other Examples:

Karras

Ph'yzzon

Zirral

Alisand'r

Oleand'r

Taryia

Thanagarians

Thanagarians have 2 names, each with 1-2 syllables. Children take their father's 2^nd name as their 1^st, his 1^st name as their 2^nd, or either name in it's original position. It's unknown if this is personal preference for the parents, or just sloppy writing on the authors' parts.

Examples:

Brothers Andar Nal and Andar Pul

Andar Nal -> son is Fel Andar

Fel Andar -> son is Ch'al Andar

Thal Porvis -> daughter is Shayera Thal

(Andar Pul) and Shayera Thal(in wedlock) -> Shayera Thal

Paran Katar -> son is Katar Hol

Other Examples:

Isamot Kol

Onimar Synn

Byth Rok

Zihn Tarak

Darl Klus

Tarra Karn

Corla Tavo

Additional Points:

Sr'i -> Sir or Mr.

Shr'i -> Mrs. or Miss

Rannians

Most Rannians are sterile. This may be why we know very little about how they name their children. They can have1-2 names, which seem to be between 1-3 syllables each.

Examples:

Sardath and Bantteir -> daughter is Alanna

Adam Strange(Human) and Alanna -> daughter is Aleea Strange

Other Examples:

Vath Sarn

Delaken

Alva Xar

Krent

Kaskor

Mortan

Xaltan Torr

Oran Dargg

Navelo

Qanda

Marleah

Korugarans

Not even sure why I included the Korugarans, we know so little about them. They seemed cool?

Examples:

Dgibb and Karoll Natu -> adopted daughter is Soranik Natu

Other Examples:

Thaal Sinestro

Katma Tui

Ungarans

Both sexes seem to take their father's family name.

Examples:

Brother and Sister Abin Sur and Arin Sur

Abin Sur -> son is Amon Sur

White/Green Martians

White and Green Martians seem to use similar naming conventions. 1-2 names, 2^nd name may be a family name. It's possible this name is adopted by the wife at marriage. Each name is 1-2 syllables(rarely 3-4, Ma'alefa'ak seems to have been named differently, possibly because they hated him?). After the 1^st syllable(rarely the 2^nd) or the 1^st letter there is an apostrophe. It's unknown how this affects pronunciation.

Examples:

M'yrnn J'onzz and Sha'sheen J'onzz -> sons are J'onn J'onzz and Ma'alefa'ak J'onzz

J'onn J'onzz and M'yri'ah J'onzz -> daughter is K'hym J'onzz

D'all -> M'yri'ah(possible surname)

Mica'kel -> son is Till'all

Other Examples:

A'monn A'mokk

Roh'kar

Sy'rann

Dal'en

Telok'telar

A'morr

M'gann M'orzz

D'Kay D'Razz

Cay'an

J'en

Bel Juz

Reach

All the Reach we've seen (with the exception of Dawur) are called by a title and serial number. Dawur is a general, and may be above title/serial no. naming.

Negotiators (Diplomats) - called by title Negotiator

Infiltrators (Spies/Secret Agents) – title is Khaji

Enforcers (Soldiers)– title is Djo

Examples:

Khaji Dha

Khaji Tal

Khaji Eq

Djo Dje

Djo Sut

Djo Mek
