Andorian names are comprised of a given name, which may be considerably longer than the name as to which they are referred. This is followed by an abbreviation of their gender, which prefixes their clan name. For example, and Andorian zhen referred to as ''Indra'' may have the full given name ''KalIndra'', and her surname would be prefixed by ''zh''' to represent her gender. Assuming she is a member of the ''Idrani'' clan, her full name would be ''KalIndra zh'Idrani''. Federation practice often allows Andorians to be referred to by a section of their given name with their rank attached. | Andorian names are comprised of a given name, which may be considerably longer than the name as to which they are referred.
