In Kamakawi, you generally list the given name, the last name
(there are only ten of these), and the genitive prefix plus the
mother's name. So, for example:
Oyo'o Foutapilo Tieini.
Oyo'o = given name (oyo = "whine", -'o = masculine)
Foutapilo = last name
Tieini = of Eini (ti- = genitive, Eini = mother's name, "seal")
For my own name, I suppose it'd be...
Taviti Peteletono Titanati
Taviti = David
Peletono = Peterson
Titanati = of Sandi

I have *no* idea how it'd end up in Sheli. You can find info on
how Sheli names work here, though:
