What Is a Miqo'te?
A Miqo'te is a member of a cat-eared, tailed race in Final Fantasy XIV, known for keen senses and hunting skill. The Miqo'te have 2 clans in the character creator. Seekers of the Sun revere Azeyma, the goddess of the sun, and Keepers of the Moon revere Menphina, the goddess of the moon.
The 2 clans name their children in different ways. Seeker society has 26 tribes, and each tribe is named for a letter of the Eorzean alphabet. Keeper society is matriarchal, so family names pass down from the mother. The FFXIV Console Games Wiki sums up the naming rules for both clans.

4 Quick Tips for Naming a Miqo'te
- Pick the clan first. Seekers and Keepers follow different rules, so the clan decides the shape of the name.
- Give a Seeker man Tia. Tia fits most Seeker men. Nunh belongs to the tribe's breeding male, a rare and powerful role.
- Count the sons for a Keeper man. The suffix shows birth order, so Najm'a is a first son and Najm'to is a second son.
- Skip canon names. Names like Y'shtola Rhul and G'raha Tia belong to main characters, so the generator leaves them out.
