"Unlike the Seekers of the Sun, the Keepers of the Moon is a highly matriarchal society, with family names passed down from the mother, not the father. It is said that some of these surnames have survived since the First Astral Era.
The Keepers of the Moon lead more solitary lives, rarely forming communities of more than two or three families."

The First Astral Era was over 5,000 years ago. If some names are -that- old then two Keepers with the same surname wouldn't have to necessarily be closely related by blood. The shared Surname can simply point to a common ancestry that could date as far back as the First Astral Era. In other words, you could meet another Chalahko and they could likely be as unrelated to you as any other Keeper Miqo'te.
That said, if you wish to meet with other player characters who have the same surname, and set up a back-story with them that makes them family, have fun
Just wanted to help you with the lore. I hope I didn't offend.
