What is de Sardet's first name?

[Jarl of the Cwmbric]

The name de Sardet sounds more like a surname, so what is his first name? And why is he referred to as Sir de Sardet? 'Sir' is a title used with the first name. You could maybe use 'Lord' with a surname.

He or she doesn't have a first name and is only referred to as De Sardet or legate, cousin, green blood, etc.

De Sardet is a surname, and the character's first name is actually "De Courcillon." However, in the game "GreedFall," the protagonist is commonly referred to as "De Sardet" because that is their family name. The title "Sir" is used as a form of address and is not necessarily tied to a first name. In this case, "Sir" is used to show respect and acknowledge the character's noble status, similar to how "Lord" or "Lady" might be used with a surname.

"Sir" and "Lord" work with both the given name and surname, actually, especially when multiple people in a noble family have the "Sir" title. In the game, the Congregation seems to use "Sir" to indicate nobles who aren't the leaders of their household, or high-ranking personnel of the De Sardet household who aren't members of the family.

Are you sure the protagonist's first name is De Courcillion? I can't find any indication of that being true. De Sardet's old tutor is named De Courcillion, and in this case, "de" doesn't sound like it would be part of a given name. It sounds more like it's used as a prefix used as part of a noble's surname, like how Spain used to use the "Don" prefix IRL.

'Sir' is the title that comes with a knighthood and is only used before the first name. For example, if de Sardet's first name was William, he would be Sir William, not Sir de Sardet.

That's true IRL. But is it also true in the game's setting? Madame de Morange's first name isn't revealed. "Madame" is the female equivalent of "Sir". Given those two points, I would think the rules in the setting are slightly different than IRL.

Yeah maybe. Doesn't sound great though. Like listening to Americans trying to larp what they think Downton Abbey is....

It's Chad. Both genders are Chad. Canon.

"De Sardet" and "De Courcillon" are both surnames, inspired by french traditions.

"De" is called a "particule" and used to mean you were member of the aristocracy, allowed to own land. This form is striclty for surnames only.

The "Sardet" or "Courcillon" part, was, most of the time, the name of the land (or castle) you rule over by birth-right. However there were many exceptions.
One funny thing : if you sold your land, you had to sell the title as well and therefore weren't "noble" any longer.
