And we don't really have any Breton names, nor Nord names, Hjalti could be both. Breton names are French sounding (Pierre, Francois, Emmanuel, etc) whereas Nord names are Scandinavian sounding (Voljar, Ulfric, Torygg, etc) and the last name is often two names joined by a hyphen (Banner-Torn, Shatter-Shield, Lonely-Gale etc).

Names in TES will often give you the person's race (though not always, Brand-Shei for example).
