Here's a link to the Lalafellin Naming Conventions. While it doesn't specifically make mention of shared family names, it does have a couple things which may point in the right direction.
This means that examples like the Coco brothers of the Thaumaturges guild share a common rhyming syllable in their surname for one of two reasons: 1) their parents simply wanted the brothers to all have the same syllable or 2) only brothers/sisters/siblings share same rhyming syllables, but not parents.
However!
This may be specific to Dunesfolk but the two Lalafellin family names we do have examples of in lore are placed in the middle of the First and Surname. So an example of a family name for your character may look something like...
Mamani Dal Mani
Mamani El Mani
Mamani Gib Mani
Family names, based on our extremely limited lore examples, appear to be one syllable, vowel-prevalent names. First and Fore are unique to the individual and based on a rhyming scheme due to the Lalafellin's native language being a musically influenced language.
Hope this helps! ^^ Sorry there's not much more lore on the topic.

Quote:Throughout history, the Lalafell passed their histories down through song, which is why even now many use heavy alliteration in their speech.
