In the way of a companion to my last post and as a comparison with an old list I did of Telmarine Names, please see below. This is largely taken from an appendix to the Gollancz Fantasy Masterworks edition. Names without a particular nation attached to them are either ones I cannot place from the information provided or are part of a cosmopolitan Zimiamvian court.
Barganax (M, Mezria)
Lessingham (M, Rerek, but it's complicated)
Antiope (F, Mezria)
Fiorinda (F)
Styllis (M)
Derxis (M, Akkama)
[Akkama is not mentioned in the main review - this is a nation outside of Ziamiamvia entirely]
Horius Parry (M, Rerek)
Jeronimy (M, Fingiswold)
Berold (M, Fingiswold)
Roder (M, Fingiswold)
Ercles (M, Rerek)
Aramond (M, Rerek)
Arcastus (M, Rerek)
Bezardes (M, Rerek)
Brandremart (M, Rerek)
Daiman (M, Rerek)
Gayllard (M, Rerek)
Mandricard (M, Rerek)
Meron (M, Rerek)
Roquez (M, Rerek)
Rossilion (M, Rerek)
Thrasiline (M, Rerek)
Belinus (M, Fingiswold)
Bodenay (M, Fingiswold)
Bosra (M, Fingiswold)
Hortensius (M, Fingiswold)
Orvald (M, Fingiswold)
Peropeutes (M, Fingiswold)
Romyrus (M, Fingiswold)
Tyarchus (M, Fingiswold)
Venton (M, Fingiswold)
Barrian (M, Mezria)
Egan (M, Mezria)
Ibian (M, Mezria)
Medor (M, Mezria)
Melates (M, Mezria)
Zapheles (M, Mezria)
Alquemen (M, Akkama)
Esperveris (M, Akkama)
Kasmon (M, Akkama)
Orynxis (M, Akkama)
Amaury (M, Rerek)
Gabriel Flores (M, Rerek)
Vandermast (M, Rerek)
Zenianthe (F, Fingiswold)
Anamestra (F)
Heterasmene (F)
Myrilla (F)
Paphirroe (F)
Raviamne (F)
Zenochilde (F)
Anthea (F, Mezria)
Bellafronte (F, Mezria)
Campaspe (F, Mezria)
Myrrhe (F, Mezria)
Pantasilea (F, Mezria)
Rosalura (F, Mezria)
Voilante (F, Mezria)
You might be able to vaguely trace out Mezria as having Grecian names, Fingiswold and Rerek as having more French or Italian names - though I do not think of this as a hard and fast rule! Akkaman names ring as deliberately more exotic to me - entirely proper as they come from another state.
