 Japanese Garb
Even names like Anthony, Charles, and Edmund have meanings; it is just that they are lost on most people who don’t know the original languages of the names and their original forms.
This name was taken upon the genpuku (coming of age) ceremony, and was the one by which men were commonly known to their close friends and family members.
Names ending in ~suke or~nosuke (actually, either element was written with a variety of kanji), ~emon, or ~zaemon, though historical-sounding and aristocratic as they are, are in large part post-Period, as they came from a habit of naming people after titles (~suke was deputy governor, and ~emon was a guard title).

 The 12dicts Word Lists
The other list, the 2of12 list, is more inclusive in that it includes words listed in as few as two of the source dictionaries, but less inclusive in that it excludes items of various sorts, including multiword phrases, proper names and abbreviations.
Unlike the 6of12 and 2of12 lists, this list is not based exclusively on the contents of my 12 source dictionaries, and for this reason it has, I feel, less authority than the other classic 12dicts lists.
Because these two lists have the same rules for the kinds of words included, one could easily combine the two to produce a slightly larger list including a number of words whose omission from 6of12 is rather surprising.

In no case does the name borne by any of the sons appear among the names of the fathers, nor, conversely, is there an instance of the father's name appearing among the sons.
Third, in the list there are two cases of sons bearing Pictish names whose fathers are known to have been strangers, and these are the only fathers of whom we have any account.
Another form found in inscriptions uses "natio" (tribe) either in the genitive (nationis) or what appears to be the ablative (natione) followed by the tribal name in some form.

Since these forms may not accurately represent the vernacular spellings in use at the time, I have marked them as Latin by putting (L) after the date that the name is found.
Such forms, and any other form that are clearly in the genitive case, are marked with a (g) after the date.
Locatives are formed most often by using the preposition i or j, pronounced \ee\ and meaning "in," before the place the person is from.

Also, a feudal naming habit is used sometimes in other languages: the French often refer to Aristotle as "le Stagirite" from one spelling of his place of birth.
Common names are also poorly suited to the precise usage needed by scientists, since by their nature common names evolve through linguistic processes.
Naming conventions are useful in many aspects of everyday life, enabling the casual user to understand larger structures.

 The First Thousand Years of British Names: Part 2
The basic elements that appear are given names, patronyms, titles/occupations (which may be modified by a place), and a small handful of other bynames, the recognizable ones being adjectival.
For the Roman period I use "given name" to refer to a native British name, whether used as such or incoporated in a triple name as a cognomen.
There is reason to believe that compound names may have been a mark of the noble class among the Celts, with craftsmen and lower classes being more likely to bear uncompounded names, but the evidence is mostly statistical and circumstantial [12].

 List of adjectival forms of place names - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a partial list of adjectival forms of place names in English and their demonymic equivalents, which denote the people or the inhabitants of the places.
Singular forms simply remove the final 's' or, in the case of -ese endings, are the same as the plural forms.
As an alternative, an adjectival phrase may be used – for instance, "a law of the Republic of Ireland" – or, as a last resort, the name "Republic of Ireland" may be used as if it were an adjective (as in "a Republic of Ireland law").

 AHS Cultivar Registration Information
The name must be an acceptable and available name, one that has not been used before, and one that will not be likely be confused in spelling or pronunciation with a name that has already been registered.
Names exaggerating the merits of a cultivar or which become inaccurate through the introduction of new cultivars or other circumstances are not allowed.
Names may not consist solely of common descriptive (i.e., adjectival) that could refer to some attribute common or likely to be common in a group of related cultivars.

Rather, the approach here is to list places and associate them with their references in the scripture.
Lists of places were often how the ancients kept the same information that we keep on maps.
Often a place name is not associated with the geographic setting of the passage but instead refers to the identity of the individual mentioned in the passage.

 Paul Goldschmidt's Dictionary of Russian Names - Grammar
Names ending in -a or -ia are changed to -y and -i respectively and those names ending in -ii or -oi change to -ego or -ogo.
Patronymic descriptive bynames are name elements that describe the person by taking an adjective or a noun (or both --in the form of a compound) and adding a patronymic-style ending to create a proto-surname.
The adjective, of course, has to agree with the gender of the subject (the standard masculine adjectival endings are -oi/-yi/-ii, while the feminine ones are -aia/-iaia).
