Dunmer, also known as Dark Elves in Skyrim and other Elder Scrolls games, are the ashen-skinned, red-eyed natives of Morrowind. Their naming conventions reflect their unique culture, ancient traditions, and the complex house politics of their homeland.
Dunmer names typically consist of a given name followed by a family name or house name. Male Dunmer names often end in "-yn," "-is," or "-il," while female Dunmer names commonly end in "-a," "-i," or "-yn." Family names frequently indicate allegiance to one of the Great Houses of Morrowind, such as Hlaalu, Redoran, or Telvanni.
The Dunmer naming convention reflects their proud, tradition-bound society. Names often carry connotations of ancestral reverence, magical prowess, or house loyalty. Many Dunmer in Skyrim maintain their traditional naming patterns, preserving their cultural identity even when far from Morrowind.
