Dragonborn Names
The Dragonborn uses a very specialized naming tradition that combines names with geolocation, family ties, actions and legacy.
A Dragonborn name might be Axadir il Feuer Sarm al Daxahel el Farahil ar Belezhar
The translation to common sounds like this: Axadir the Fire Sage of Daxahel and Farahil from Belezar.
The typical structure is Name-gained title (only for dragonborn that have gained a title through actions)-parents (most influential to least) and place of birth. These might change depending on circumstance. If a dragonborn has no known parents, it might be excluded from the name entierly or be exchanged with something like The Lone Wolf or Street Urchin. For example Albrahas Il Alen Wulfen ar Khalmazar (Albrahas the Lone Wolf from Khalmazar)
A dragonborn of unknown place of birth, no legacy or actions and no known parents, might have no extra name or take on an eponymous title or nickname.
Common tropes in Dragonborn names are the letters L, Z, X, R and A. Placenames often end in Zar or El, relating closely to king, divine or god. Belezar being roughly translated as The Kings Hill. Khalmazar being roughly translated to Market of God.
