So, in a sense, it's a bit similar to a modern surname in that it connects her to her father, though individual Seeker reactions may differ to its use. Some may swell with pride at being connected to a strong male of their tribe, while others may get offended that you're not recognizing their (or their tribe's) accomplishments.
Keeper of the Moon surnames are, however, traditional surnames. Each one represents a particular family.
C'sien gets upset when people call her Miss Zoth, and politely corrects them to call her C'sien. When talking with others she usually calls them "Ser/Sir Firstname" or "Miss Firstname" as she's not familiar with most naming conventions, icly, other than her own peoples'. So she tries to make sure that she's not trampling on some unknown name convention.
