Temiar names appear complicated to some people because they might change depending on the situation. A man might have a birth-order name such as 'Along' (first born), which might change in later life to for example 'Litau', indicating that his first born child was a son. Temiars for different reasons may not call people by their 'given' name, but use a pet name or something that might highlight a certain characteristic of a person, such as 'happy'. Names also might have different meanings depending upon which district one lives. Below is a selection of Temiar names. This is a list that we will continually add to.
