===Naming Conventions and Subspecies===

The Belladarians use a naming structure that both identifies an individual as well as their subspecies (and thereby their geographical location) to which they belong.

The first name of an individual Belladarian is unique to that individual, the second name is that of his subspecies. Since each subspecies is limited in origin to a specific continent, now that the mega continent has broken up due to plate tectonics, this has the added benefit of identifying the geographical point of origin of a given individual.

The names of the Continents and the Associated Subspecies are as follows:

In the past, the Belladarians presented themselves using their Given name followed by their clan name as a title, as shown in this example: "I am Baka from the clan of the Oklis."  In more modern times this has been shortened to simply "Baka Oklis."

It is important to note that in both examples that "Baka" is the unique given name of the individual, while "Oklis" is the subspecies to which the individual belongs, and therefore it is possible to determine their continent of origin.
