I Am X, Son of Y | comment |
Until the latter half of the 20th century, it was generally accepted that openly bearing your father's or culture's good name as a badge of honor was perfectly acceptable behavior, as it showed filial loyalty to one's roots. Not only was "Son of Y" basically your surname in ancient times, but Patronymic surnames are also where many modern last names come from ("Jacobson", "MacDonald", "Alexeyev", "Ivanovich", "bin Tariq", "González" and "Giannopoulos" for example). This is exceptionally true amongst Proud Warrior Race Guy societies in Real Life, such as the Samurai of Japan and the Knights of Europe, who by custom formally stated their names followed by father, clan and lineage out of respect for the foes before battling to the death. Expect any Proud Warrior Race Guy (or Gal) who enacts this trope to be The Stoic and admirably honorable person who is loyal to the traditions of their culture. They might even be the Heir to the Throne of said culture. An increasingly common Variant B is a character who bears the name of their father and culture as a badge of pride, despite being an outcast from said culture. Bastards and children of (often wrongfully) dishonored parents are of this variant. Note that My Name Is Inigo Montoya is almost always crossed with this trope, as one would more often than not want the subject of his vengeance to quake in terror knowing just whom they have wronged and who is about to take their lives. |

Star Trek Online has a variant with Captain Koren, CO of the Klingon Defense Force flagship IKS Bortasqu'. In her appearance in "Sphere of Influence" she introduces herself as "Koren, daughter of Grilka", referring to her mother rather than either her biological father J'nek or her stepfather Worf. Her mother Grilka is one of the only female heads of a Klingon noble house in the Empire's history (watch DS9: "The House of Quark" for the full explanation). | |

Invoked by both the Monsalve sisters on Sho-shan y la Dama Oscura. Violeta choosed Murasaki Fujita as her pseudonym, Murasaki being the translation of her name to japanese (and the nickname that her mother gave to her) and Fujita because Danae Fujita — a terrorist — was the supposed real identity of Dagmar Obscura, Violeta's mother. As she says to Sasuke I choosed Fujita as a way to tell those idiots that I will love my mother no matter whom she was. Yuga uses this trope with Violeta when he calls her Comrade Xingcun, being Xingcun the last name of Violeta's biological father. Luisa is called Mori-chan in Japan because of her father, who changed his name from Luis Monsalve to Rintaro Mori when he exiled in Japan. |

In Crusader Kings, many, many cultures use automatically generated patronymics as surnames. For example, by default the second Petty King of Dál Riata, an Irish realm available in the 769 AD start in the second game, will be named Eochaid mac �ed ("Eochaid, son of �ed", after the initial king �ed III). A character's full name will also typically include the name of their dynasty, for Eochaid mac �ed Mac Gabráin in this case. This can sometimes have bizarre results with intercultural marriages, such as a Basque child with an Anglo-Saxon father, e.g. Æthelred, ending up with a surname like "Æthelredez". | |

In The Chronicles of Prydain, it's very common for characters to introduce themselves by the patronymic or matronymic. Protagonist Taran is deeply bothered by the fact that he's an orphan and can't introduce himself that way; he eventually comes to be known by many as Taran Wanderer. | |

In the Redwall series, Martin the Warrior announces himself as "Martin, son of Luke" multiple times in his eponymous book. Also spoken by Martin at least once in the books Mossflower, and The Legend of Luke. It should be noted that at first, he introduces himself as "Martin, son of Luke the Warrior". It isn't until later that he introduces himself as "Martin the Warrior, son of Luke". | |

In Bloons Tower Defense 6, Quincy parodies this tropes by saying "I am Quincy, son of Quincy." This is also played with his skins. Cyber Quincy Skin has "I am Quincy, evolved from Quincy!", and his "Wolfpack Quincy" skin has "I am Quincy, of pack Quincy!" You can buy the spirit of Quincy, dad of Quincy as a cosmetic pet for Quincy. |

The Outskirters, the Proud Warrior Race of the Steerswoman series, have three-part names of the form "X, Ysdotter (or Ysson), Z", where Y is one's mother and Z is one's great-great-...-great-grandmother, sixty-some generations back, at the inception of the culture. One is also expected to know all the intervening names, and to be able to trot out the full list from memory at appropriate ceremonial occasions. The character who gets the most page time is Bel, Margasdotter, Chanly. | |

Star Trek: Discovery: Subverted with "Voq, Son of None"("Voq pagh puqloD" in Klingonese), a rare albino Klingon who's considered a freak and an outcast. However, because of his desire to prove himself, T'Kuvma essentially adopts Voq as his torchbearer ("Sech qengwI'") and chosen successor. One interesting variation comes when Cleveland "Book" Booker introduces himself at a council gathering as "Son of Kwejian"; in this case, Kwejian is the name of his (recently-destroyed) homeworld instead of his father. |

Discworld: In the novel Sourcery, wannabe barbarian hero Nijel introduces himself as "Nijel the Destroyer, son of Harebut the Provision Merchant." Later, when he wants to impress a girl, he changes it to "Harebut the Mighty". Parodied with dwarf (usually Nordic) names: there's a dwarf with the name Snorriscousin. And also parodied with the Hublandic barbarians, who can end up with names like "Volf Volfsonsonsonsonsonson". In The Compleat Discworld Atlas, we're told that a polite greeting to a Nothingfjord chieftain involves going back about forty generations. Most of whom are called Eric. |

In the lore of Final Fantasy XIV, Roegadyn Sea Wolves follow this naming convention in their native language. A Roegadyn's last name will be their father's name with the suffix -syn(son of) or -wyn(daughter of). An example would be Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, or "Merlwyb, daughter of Bloefhis". | |

The Odyssey: "I am Odysseus, son of Laertes." This makes this trope Older Than Feudalism. Also in The Odyssey, the recurring formal way of addressing the hero is "diogenes Laertiade, polymechan' Odysseus" or "Son of Laertes, sprung from Zeusnote For Odysseus that was not just flattery: his mother was a granddaughter of Hermes, son of Zeus., Odysseus of many devices" (translation by A. T. Murray). |

To Shape a Dragon's Breath has both versions. The Masquisit and Naquisit do not have last names but are referred to by others among their people as the child of their parents with the mother's name first, e.g. Anequs is called the daughter of Chagoma and Aponakwe. Among the Anglish, due to heavy Norsman influence, many people have patronymic surnames. Anequs has been assigned the patronymic surname Aponakwedottir — "Aponakwe's daughter." She hates it. | |

Green Lantern: In a "Tales of the Green Lantern Corps" short story written by Alan Moore and published in Green Lantern (Volume 2) #188, there was Bolphunga the Unrelenting. He pursued the Green Lantern Mogo, not knowing that the seemingly uninhabited planet that he'd landed on to find Mogo was Mogo, and introduced himself as "Bolphunga, son of Boff!" | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth books, modern-style family names are only used in the Shire and Bree-land. Everyone else works with patronymics. One of the best examples is Thorin declaring himself in Lake-town in The Hobbit: In The Lord of the Rings: "I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn; and if by life or death I can save you, I will." In The Silmarillion: "I am Beren son of Barahir, friend of Felagund. Take me to the King!" Even the hobbits use patronymics once out of the Shire and past Bree-land. In Rivendell, Elrond introduces "Frodo son of Drogo" to the council, and later Frodo introduces himself to Faramir that way. At Isengard Merry introduces himself to Theoden as "Meriadoc, son of Saradoc," and Pippin takes oath in Gondor as "Peregrin, son of Paladin." |

Black Panther: Announcing one's name and lineage is Serious Business for Wakandans (which ties directly to the Arc Words "Who are you?"). Early in the movie, T'Challa says this during his coronation tribal combat to affirm his worthiness. Halfway through, Erik "Killmonger" Stevens dramatically introduces himself as N'Jadaka, son of N'Jobu, to publicly reveal his royal lineage. Interestingly, it seems one can only formally introduce themselves in a conversation when asked to, as Killmonger himself patiently waits and tries to goad others into asking his name. | |

Shadows over Meridian: When Ymir demands Vera, who's surrounded by him and the Mogriffs, to identify herself in Chapter 28, she proudly introduces herself as the heir of House Bexley, daughter of Idina Bexley and granddaughter of Jesekiel Bexley. Against her expectations though, her grandfather's name earns no reaction from the Mogriffs because they know him only as the "Nest Butcher", and Ymir only recognizes her mother who's the governor of Castwell's Peak. It's only when Metalbeak shapeshifts into Jesekiel to question Vera and she rages at her grandfather's killer for taking his appearance that the Mogriffs connect the dots and react with fury. | |

Justified in Mad Max: Fury Road. When the "Rig family" reach the lands of Vuvalini, Furiosa introduces herself with her whole tribal lineage so she won't be gunned down from ambush in the belief that they're Desert Bandits. Also a case of I Am What I Am, since this is probably the first time in the last 20 years when she fully acknowledges her origins and starts reconnecting with her past. | |

It underlines the keeper's mysticism, since he's sitting alone on a planet in the middle of nowhere. In Avengers: Endgame, he greets Black Widow and Hawkeye as "Natasha, daughter of Ivan" and "Clint, son of Edith." Hawkeye dismisses this as a parlor trick, but Black Widow is shaken since she didn't even know her father's name. |

The Stormlight Archive: The Shin use their father's name as part of their full name, so it would be for example Gashash-son-Navammis. Women use their mother's instead, for example Ali-daughter-Hasweth. The main Shin character Szeth, though, is a dishonored Truthless and does not use his father's name, since he doesn't want to disgrace him by association. He uses his dead grandfather's name instead. Therefore, rather than Szeth-son-Neturo (what his name would normally be), he goes by Szeth-son-son-Vallano. Several people call him Szeth-son-Neturo over his objections, as they believe that he was named Truthless incorrectly. The Horneaters normally don't do this, but in Dawnshard Rock's daughter Cord does it to announce herself as a princess of her people. "I am Hualinam'lunanaki'akilu, the daughter of Numuhukumakiaki'aialunamor, the Fal'ala'liki'nor, he who drew the Bow of Hours at the dawn of the new millennium, heralding the years of change!" |

Dynasty Warriors: In 5, Guan Ping often introduces himself as "Guan Ping, son of Guan Yu," to signify that he's still living under the God of War's shadows. His dream stage in Warriors Orochi seeks to defy this by having him, along with Gracia and Cao Pi, challenge their fathers and prove themselves worthy of their own name. In 8, Wen Yang repeatedly introduces himself as "Wen Yang, son of Wen Qin", until his father dies and, realizing he wasn't particularly worthy of his respect, he makes a Heel–Face Turn. |

In Mass Effect, quarian names follower a similar line, though based on their ship as opposed to their parents. Tali'Zorah is, for example, Tali'Zorah nar Rayya when Shepard first meets her, which effectively is "Tali, of the family Zorah, passenger of the Rayya.", and later, when she is renamed to Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, this effectively translates as "Tali, of the family Zorah, crew of the Normandy." Since the difference between a passenger (One who is provided for by their ship) and crew (one who provides and contributes to their ship) exists, the identifiers of Vas and Nar are important. Other translations for Nar can be "Child of" and for Vas can be "Citizen of" or "Contributor of". She is also identified as Tali'Zorah vas Neema during Mass Effect 2. Additionally, it appears that a Quarian's child-ship is still a part of their name, as during Tali's loyalty mission she at one point refers to herself as "Tali'Zorah vas Neema nar Rayya". A less dramatic example is everyone's least favourite reporter, Khalisah bint Sinah al-Jilani. "bint" is Arabic and means "daughter", meaning that she is Khalisah, daughter of Sinah, of the Jilani household. note Or possibly, due to the Culture Chop Suey of the Mass Effect future setting, that one of her ancestors was the daughter of Sinah of the Jilani household, and it ended up being appended to her family name. After all, that's more or less how it happened to the other English-speaking examples. |

In Avatar, in a moment when Jake needs to be very respectful, he addresses Tsu'tey as "Tsu'tey te Rongloa Atey'itan" — "Tsu'tey of the Rongloa family, son of Ateyo". Also parodied earlier when Jake introduces himself as "a warrior of the Jarhead clan." He and Colonel Quaritch had a good laugh about that later. | |

Star Trek: Even though his family have become dispossessed outcasts in the Klingon Empire due to his conflicting loyalties to the Federation, the first Klingon in Starfleet still calls himself "Worf, son of Mogh". In Star Trek: Picard, he also calls himself "Son of Sergey, House of Rozhenko", being just as devoted to his adoptive human family as his deceased Klingon parents. As Lieutenant Worf was named after his grandfather (Kirk and McCoy's lawyer in Star Trek VI), Worf's father's name would have been "Mogh, son of Worf". Played With once at a meeting before the High Council in which Kurn, Worf's long-lost younger brother, introduces himself as "Kurn, son of Lorgh", Lorgh being a friend of Mogh who raised Kurn after Mogh and his mate were killed. As House Mogh is facing potential disgrace, Worf orders Kurn to hide his bloodline in order to protect him. Unfortunately, Duras (the greatest enemy of House Mogh) knows the truth and considers Kurn a threat to be dealt with. Worf's own son Alexander uses his adopted grandparents' human surname, as Alexander Rozhenko, even when serving aboard a Klingon ship. Then again, he was raised by them and is 1/4 human — not to mention he is thoroughly poxed off with his dad for being an absentee father. This becomes a plot point in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Sons and Daughters". After a number of other Klingons introduce themselves as x son/daughter of y, Alexander gives his name as Alexander Rozhenko. Martok notices this and asks who he is the son of, only for Alexander to refuse to say as "My honor will be my own". Its used to show just how bad Worf's relationship with his son is. Klingon females always introduce himself as "daughter of <father's name>", never "daughter of <mother's name>", implying that male heritage is more important (same as human patronymics). An exception is B'Elanna Torres, who sometimes refers to herself among Klingons as "B'Elanna, daughter of Miral", referring to her mother. This is probably because her father, John Torres, is human, and his name wouldn't mean anything to Klingons. It's unclear whether there would also be an exception for the very rare cases where a woman rather than her husband is the head of a noble house. (The quote below is from "The House of Quark", an episode introducing the only canonically verified case of a woman becoming the head of a noble house.) And speaking of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Star Trek: Voyager. Seven of Nine often addresses Naomi Wildman as "Naomi Wildman, subunit of Ensign Samantha Wildman." Star Trek: Discovery: Subverted with "Voq, Son of None"("Voq pagh puqloD" in Klingonese), a rare albino Klingon who's considered a freak and an outcast. However, because of his desire to prove himself, T'Kuvma essentially adopts Voq as his torchbearer ("Sech qengwI'") and chosen successor. One interesting variation comes when Cleveland "Book" Booker introduces himself at a council gathering as "Son of Kwejian"; in this case, Kwejian is the name of his (recently-destroyed) homeworld instead of his father. |

Arn: The Knight Templar is set in medieval Scandinavia, so patronymics are all over the place. If further clarification is needed, the name of the family home is used, for example "Arn Magnusson of Arnäs", "Cecilia Algotsdotter of Ulvåsa". There is one significant example in Bengt Elinsson. After Svante Sniving, his abusive drunk of a father, killed his mother Elin in a drunken rage and was in turn killed by Elin's clansmen, Bengt chose to identify himself as his mother's son. | |

The Thrawn Trilogy: It's an unusual example — she hates her blood father and everything he stood for — but when Leia Organa Solo is almost kidnapped by a Noghri commando, he is able to smell her bloodline and calls her the Mal'ary'ush, the daughter of the savior. Of course, he doesn't mean Bail Organa. After their world was poisoned, Darth Vader showed up, created peace among the clans, had droids sent down to purify some of the soil, and got them into a deep debt to the Empire. Leia ends up accepting this and even visiting the ruined Noghri homeworld to attempt to coax them away from the Empire, and when she finds the proof that they do not in fact owe the Empire for their continued existence, she introduces herself to the Imperial-loyal ruling body as Darth Vader's daughter. When they attempt to capture her, in accordance to their new overlord's commands, she holds and ignites her lightsaber using the Force, finally getting their full attention. It is highly interesting that Vader's daughter is considered his "heir" not his son. Leia remains the Mal'ary'ush even after the Noghri know about Luke. In the third book of the trilogy the Noghri greet Luke as the "Son of Vader". Actually becomes a plot point, when Mara asks who this "Son of Vader" the Noghri are expecting show up and save them is. When she finds out it's Luke... Interestingly, Thrawn's own full name, Mitth'raw'nuruodo, is this in Cheunh (which is why it's near-unpronounceable for humans), despite being exiled; in Basic/English, it would read as something to the effect of "Thrawn Nuruodo of the Mitth family". This is as Chiss names have the Ruling family as prefix and the House they are a part of within that family as suffix, forming the "Core name" by attaching the last character/sound of the Family and the first of the House name to the beginning and end of the personal (childhood) name. |

Girl Genius "I am Zeetha, Daughter of Chump! [...] And yes, I know what it means in your language." Though between Word of God and hints dropped in-comic, it seems "Chump" was just an alias. He was probably being self-deprecating when introducing himself to Zeetha's people. | |

In Animorphs, on the Ishkoort planet, the main characters hire a guide named Guide, son of Skin-Seller, Brother of Memory Wholesaler. When Ax contacts his home planet he gives his full name as well as the names of both his parents to indicate who he is. Of course the most notable detail is that he's Elfangor's brother. Somewhat interesting is that Ax and Elfangor each share a "middle name" with one of their respective parents, though it's not clear if that's an extra example of this trope. |

The Wheel of Time: The Ogier give the names of their forbears two generations back when introducing themselves; male Ogier give the names of their father and grandfather, while female ones give the names of their mother and grandmother. While listing two forebears might seem cumbersome, the Ogiers' longevity means that an Ogier's grandparents are likely to be acquainted to any other Ogier he or she meets. The Two rivers has a convention of using "al" to mean "son of", as in Rand al'Thor. However, it is only used in that manner in a flashback; by the time of the books it has devolved to an artifact, as there's no indication that Rand has any near relatives named Thor, more's the pity. Not that they would have been his relatives, regardless. The name causes him some trouble in the second book, as the same prefix is apparently used to denote royalty in the Borderlands. |

The Elder Scrolls Traditional Orc names follow this structure with the prefixes "gro" and "gra" meaning "son of" and "daughter of", respectively; when referring to a parent, a male orc will use his father's name as his last name, and a female will use her mother's. So, for example, an Orc named Agron gro-Malog is "Agron, the son of Malog". It is also not uncommon for them to use their place of birth as a last name in place of a parent's in some cases. In Skyrim, draconic Big Bad Alduin just loves to announce the fact that he is the "firstborn" of Akatosh, the draconic God of Time and Top God of the Nine Divines pantheon. |

Game of Thrones: Tyrion Lannister, trying to impress upon a particularly dim-witted prison guard that he's got the money to bribe him, introduces himself as "Tyrion, son of Tywin" (Tywin Lannister being the richest and most powerful lord in the Seven Kingdoms). Later on Tyrion is introducing the leaders of the hill tribes to his father in this way as this is a standard introduction amongst such hill tribes. "Shagga son of Dolf, Timett son of Timett, Chella daughter of Cheyk..." When Tyrion gets to the mercenary Bronn he says "Bronn, son of...", pauses, and Bronn interjects with "You wouldn't know him." This is also a standard introduction among the Dothraki. Particularly noteworthy is Drogo son of Bharbo. |

The main character of Tales of the Questor is Quentyn, son of Quinn. His father is generally named simply "Quinn". Though the sci-fi spinoff Quentyn Quinn, Space Ranger seems to imply that Quinn becomes a surname (like many real life Patronymics) sometime in the next 700 years. | |

Bait and Switch: The USS Bajor's chief of security is identified as Lieutenant Dul'krah, Clan Korekh. His species doesn't have surnames in the traditional sense and instead identify by clan. In The Headhunt, where Dul'krah is the narrator, he states his full name as "Dul’krah, son of Var'takh, Home-Clan Korekh, Blood-Clan Rustra, Ship-Clan Bajor." In a slight diversion, his bio on Memory Gamma wiki indicates that Var'takh is his mother rather than his father. | |

There are two Red Robin villains who go by "Daughter of Acheron" and refer to each other as sister. Though they've both left behind their birth names one does call herself a promise of vengeance and "Promise" ends up being used like her name by others when referring to her, the other is the half-sister of Ra's al Ghul. | |

The How to Train Your Dragon fanfic A Thing of Vikings uses this trope on occasion. Hiccup's full name in this story, for example, is "Hiccup Horrendous Stoicksson of Clan Haddock". Eirish and Alban (Scottish) people have "mac [father's name]" (if male) or "nic [father's name]" if female, while Jews have "ben/bat [parent's name]".note Interestingly, it seems to be whichever parent is the same gender as the child. So, "Esther bat Rivkah", even though historically her name would probably have been "Esther bat Dovid". | |

"Dracula", Vlad III's nickname and the inspiration for Bram Stoker's infamous vampire, means "son of the dragon".note Language evolution later turned it into "son of the devil". The 'dragon' in question was his actual father Vlad II Dracul, i.e. the "Dragon" or "Last Dragon" as he was one of the last members of the Order of the Dragon. Modern Romanian has the patronymic ending -escu. | |

Andromeda: "I am Tyr Anasazi of Kodiak Pride, out of Victoria by Barbarossa." Unlike the typical examples, the Nietzscheans always mention their mothers along with their fathers, as both genetic lines are important to them. In one episode, an interested Nietzschean woman asks which Barbarossa was his father, as there were at least two. Given how important genetic heritage is for Nietzscheans, it makes sense that a woman interested in a man would want to know his bloodline. |

In the Uplift series, this is applied to species' names. The full name for a species includes not only the species "ancestors" (the race who uplifted them), but includes their "descendants" (races they've uplifted).

Dragonriders of Pern: In the series, characters do not have surnames; instead, they tend to be given names which are an amalgamation of both parents' names. For example, Lord Jaxom was the son of Lord Fax and Lady Gemma. Lessa, in the first book, invokes the trope a bit more directly in response to F'lar implying she's a coward: I am the daughter of the Lord of Ruatha! I am afraid of nothing! The trope is also discussed when Kylara has a son—she says—by T'bor, and names him T'kil. F'lar notes to Lessa that if she'd stuck perfectly to convention she would have named him T'lar, but that might "cause confusion," deliberately needling Lessa, whose jealousy is piqued by the promiscuous Kylara. Though he was monogamous subsequent to becoming Lessa's weyrmate, F'lar mentally concedes (but does not say) that the child could conceivably be his. |

Even though his family have become dispossessed outcasts in the Klingon Empire due to his conflicting loyalties to the Federation, the first Klingon in Starfleet still calls himself "Worf, son of Mogh". In Star Trek: Picard, he also calls himself "Son of Sergey, House of Rozhenko", being just as devoted to his adoptive human family as his deceased Klingon parents. |
