Welcome!Â
You can read the naming conventions here:Â http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forums/491-Lore (Stickied topics in the top)
The naming conventions basically give a bit more culture/character to the various races, just like there's a difference between common names in for example scandinavia compared to africa or so. For some of the races their name indicates their social standing or something they have achieved in life etc.Â
It's always a good idea to read them and get a gist of it, but there are ways to deviate from the naming conventions if you just can't think of a name that fits in.
