Bloodnames are one of the more unique institutions of the Clans. When the Clans were founded and their breeding program started, surnames were done away with (after the first generation of warriors), and an ordeal called a Trial of Bloodright was established to allow eligible warriors to win the surnames of the original warriors that founded the Clans.
The surnames were termed Bloodnames, and were traced matrilineally through mitochondrial DNA. Being a descendant of a person with a bloodline gives the person eligibility to enter in the trial rather than the right to use the surname without winning a trial. Each Bloodname can be held by a maximum of 25 warriors at any one time. Some Bloodnames have fewer than 25 holders, due to a process called a reaving.
When a clan takes a bondsman who is then reinstated as a warrior, the warrior is still eligible for competing for their bloodname, or may already have a bloodname. This has caused most bloodnames to spread to other clans from their original clan. However, some clans have declared some of their bloodnames exclusive, not allowing them to be claimed by warriors from other clans that have a legitimate claim. For example, Clan Wolf claims exclusive control over the Kerensky bloodname.
Examples of Exclusive Bloodnames:
- Kerensky (Clan Wolf),
- Schmitt (Clan Blood Spirit),
- Zalman (Clan Steel Viper),
- Pryde (Clan Jade Falcon),
- Kell (Clan Wolf-in-Exile),
Examples of Non-exclusive Bloodnames:
- Redmond,
- Chi-Li,
- Phoushath,
- Kederk,
- Shu-Li
Although any form of surname outside the warrior caste is frowned upon, the scientist caste secretly assigns surnames to people who make great scientific contributions. The surnames are after great historical scientists (Newton, Watson, etc.) and have nothing to do with the persons genealogy.
