Family Names
The names on this list are hereditary surnames. Some of them are patronyms, attributives, and descriptives which have been converted into family names. Where such are known, they are noted. Other notes are commentary from the listed source. The dates listed are the earliest reference to that item as a family name, as given in the listed source. This does not necessarily mean that it is the earliest possible date for that name, just that it is the earliest date given in that particular source.
The sources, listed in the right column, are:
·DP - Demetrios Polemis, The Doukai
·DN - Donald M. Nicol, Studies in Late Byzantine Prosopography...
·ODB - Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium

Feminine Given Names
The list below is a compilation of given names used by members of the aristocracy from the 10th century through the end of the byzantine era. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but rather those names which have been gleaned from the three listed sources. As more sources are incorporated, the list will expand.
·The sources, listed in the right column, are:
·DP - Demetrios Polemis, The Doukai
·DN - Donald M. Nicol, Studies in Late Byzantine Prosopography...
·ODB - Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium
Masculine names outnumber feminine names by almost three to one. This is, of course, a reflection of the primary sources, where documents concerning men are more prevelant.
