Human names are a string of two to four multisyllabic words. The first one or two denote personal names and the last one or two denote family names. In the Japanese language, these sets are reversed, and a title is often added.
These names evoke a personal sense of self, pride, and family connection. The histories behind the names are varied, but often a human will have a story or meaning connected with their name.

Human survivors and Eydan locals worked quickly but not before exposing each other to unknown contagions. Plagues spread among both peoples, the locals calling their illnesses Human Sickness and the humans calling theirs Landing Sickness. Human doctors and Eydan healers worked from separate quarantines to isolate and treat the combinations of foreign diseases.
