Are there any sourcebooks or other references to Netheril/Halruuan clan/family names?
Thanks!

Ed recently proveded some Netherese names on his Twitter feed. Otherwise you'll have to trawl through the Netheril boxed set, FR16 The Shining South, Shining South (3E) and Elaine Cunningham's "Councillors and Kings" novel trilogy for names. There's no "list" that I'm aware of. Ed has previously posted here at Candlekeep that almost all of the wizard names in the Netheril boxed set are shortened derivations of their "real names".

Thank you George! I already had "Councilors and Kings" and Shining South(3E). So I went to the DMs Guild and bought "Netheril: Empire of Magic" and FR16 The Shining South. That should keep me busy.
Is Ed's Twitter stuff posted here on Candlekeep? |

It is when I find the time! 
I did recently get mostly caught up on collecting Twitter responses. I'll post the relevant one here when I can switch from my work computer to my personal one. |

On Netherese names:
Oct 18, 2020
@Vrgazze
could you help me? I will play with a male Human High Netherese from the Arcane Age that travel time to 1490. Could you help me giving characteristic names and surnames(family names) for this character? Is there any Loroos dictionary?
@TheEdVerse
Sure. This topic comes up here at Twitter every year or so, and I’ve answered it many times, so please be aware that I’m generalizing here.
Netherese rarely use surnames. Except for noble or ruling families (like the Tanthuls,of Thultanthar). Here are some other examples of those ‘high’ surnames:
Arimmon, Glest, Heirakaunt, Larezmiir, Maeraklaervel, Norlyal, Orivven, Yadanth
Given names often use double-a constructions, end in ‘ol’ more than the namings of other times and cultures, often begin with M, and often include ‘oun’ or ‘aun.’
Male examples: Aglaren, Bezoarn, Clarbrennus, Dyrar, Eirol, Ethuud (pronounced “Eth-OOD”), Lamorund, Malant, Mlaarol, Naraeyn, Orthol, Rivalagorn, Skord, Tabrakh, Vaereth, Yulvaun.
Female examples: Althyroun, Aelroune, Cathaele, Ethree, Haele, Jounraele, Kalathe, Maeraele, Nyrindral, Noeene, Olone, Ryndra, Saaraunra, Tylue, Uele (pronounced “Oo-ell”), Vyruil, Woave, Yakla, Yariil, Zoale, Zoare, Zorele.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is any publicly-available Loroos dictionary, just an internal (and NDA'd) Wizards "dropbucket o'added words" file.

| 5e's Out Of The Abyss contains a netherese noble half-elven sorceress named Brysis Khaem. Could be completely made up for the module though. Likely is. |

I believe that was supposed to be Loross, the language spoken in Netheril. |
