Hill Dwarves
Hill dwarves tend to use a family surname as many human cultures do.
Mountain Dwarves
Mountain dwarves tend to use the name of the parent with higher status in the society they are from. The higher the person's status, the more generations they tend to go back; though this also depends on the circumstances. If among friends, a dwarf may only use their parent's name, but in the king's court they may use upwards of five generations. An example might be "Garnok, son of Kaerleth, daughter of Mornrik."
