Each surname has an organization called a [[Bloodname House]].  This represents each person who qualifies to hold the Bloodname or currently holds a Bloodname. They are responsible for electing or sponsoring a qualified applicant to earn an available Bloodname.  Each Bloodname House has its own traditions which they keep to themselves to maintain the integrity of the Bloodname founder and their successors.  Each House also has its own [[Blood Chapel]] which is located on Strana Mechty and surrounds the [[Hall of Khans]].  The Chapels not only serve to hold the DNA of all of its Bloodnamed members, living or dead, but also to memorialize the exploits of their founders and their worthy successors. Without exception, there is nothing more holy or sacred to the Clans than these Chapels.<ref>''Path of Glory'', p. 99</ref>

Although any form of surname outside the warrior caste is frowned upon, the scientist caste secretly assigns surnames (referred to as [[Labname]]s) to people who make great scientific contributions. These surnames are named after great historical scientists (Newton, Watson, etc.) and have nothing to do with the person's genealogy.
