From what I've read and come to understand Miqo'te tribes aren't a group of savages like the tribes of WoW trolls for example as that might push the race to being a bit more like the some of the beastmen tribes. Actually if I'm not mistaken one of the quest hubs later on is a tribe's village with a single building holding some representatives from Ul'dah. (I didn't go into the building but it had Ul'dah's flag on it by the door so that's just me assuming.)
I myself am playing a male from one of the tribes but there are a lot of others who aren't and like mentioned before most of the NPCs in the city states have names that follow the tribal naming conventions.
I also find it helps to think of the tribes as more of just a big family. Instead of looking at the surname to tell what family they are from you look at the prefix of their first name.
