- Men: Nords, Imperials, Bretons, and Redguards feature naming conventions inspired by real-world historical cultures, ranging from Scandinavian roots to ancient Roman and African influences.
- Mer (Elves): Altmer, Bosmer, Dunmer, and Orsimer carry ancient, melodic, or culturally rigid surnames that reflect their lineage, societal standing, and homeland.
- Beastfolk: Argonians and Khajiit boast the most unique naming rules, often utilizing hyphenated structures, prefix honorifics, and literal translations of their native tongues like Ta'azokaan or Ta'agra.
