What is a Khajiit?
Khajiit is a race from the Elder Scrolls video games. They have a humanoid-feline appearance and originate from the province of Elsweyr. These creatures are known for their agility and stealth, qualities that make them proficient in professions such as thievery and trading.
Their society is intricate, rooted in traditions and a spiritual connection to the moons of Nirn—Masser and Secunda. The phases of these moons at the time of a Khajiit's birth significantly influence their physical form, which can range from entirely feline to nearly human-like.
Naming Conventions
Khajiit's names deeply reflect their culture and the celestial influences at play during their birth. Typically, a Khajiit's name will include a prefix that indicates their societal role or status, followed by a personal name that is unique to the individual. For instance, the prefix "Do" is often associated with warriors, while "S" denotes an adult.
The name might reflect personal attributes or life experiences, adding depth to each individual's identity. Sometimes, a suffix may also indicate clan affiliations or geographic origins. This naming structure reinforces the social fabric of Khajiit society and enhances the rich lore surrounding these intriguing creatures.

A Khajiit does not typically have a last name (surname). They normally have titles that indicate their role in society. Here is a breakdown of the naming structure and meanings, courtesy of UESP.net
