Native names in Englisc work like most other Western Europeans, but with an additional mixture of Icelandic/Norse tradition in them. A person's Englisc name is a given name formed from a stock set of first and second elements, which usually alliterate within a family. The second name is patronymic, formed by the father's name, then the word 'sone' or 'dohter' after that. A final name, which is not often necessary, is the family, or tribe name (often ending in -barn, -boh,etc.), usually a grandfather or great-grandfather to your father, with whom your family has a strong connection. An example: Willhelm Jakobssone Eadgarsbarn
