=== Family Names ===

	Continuing with the original example, Faridat is the family name, which comes from the father’s side. Originally, Arqi family names were more regular, but over the years, many thousands more have been established with varying origins. Most commonly, the names indicate a profession or a place of birth, although a fair amount also incorporate honorifics, virtues, or the personal name of a famous ancestor. Many family names have been derived from foreign words over the centuries as different cultures were assimilated into the Empire. When a last name is derived from a personal name, honor name, or location, it is always masculinized. It is common to masculinize the forms of other types of family name as well. In this case, Faridat retains its original form from the Prana word it is descended from. It means “river-crosser” (ferryman).
