What's this guy's first and last name? Are Chimer names like in certain Asian countries where the family name is first?

    Although there is no source specifically about this in this article of Elder Scrolls Wikia, it says:

    House Sotha was one of the minor Houses of Vvardenfell until its destruction by Mehrunes Dagon in the times of Indoril Nerevar. The only one who survived the destruction of the House by Dagon was Sotha Sil, who was rescued by Indoril Nerevar and later became one of his most trusted advisors.

    Which is very different from the "standard" naming conventions of Dunmers, in which Houses come after the person name.
    I am the very model of a scientist Salarian, I've studied species Turian, Asari, and Batarian.
    I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology).
    My xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian, I am the very model of a Scientist Salarian.

    So the Chimer did put the family name first. At least, it appears so.

    No it's more like the name of the house they lead plus there individual name.

    Since Sil was the only surviving member of house Sotha, he become it's defacto head.

    Brindisi Dorom is the Duke-price of Mournhold and a ranking member in House Indorial. So he would be addressed as Duke-Prince Indoril Brindisi Dorom.
