I'm curious about what the above means?

Does it mean there are powerful Caldari clans ruling the Caldari State?   TEA seemed to suggest something like that, but well it was TEA.

Does it mean that when you take over a CEO poistion in some Mega's it's tradition to change your last name?  I know there is a similar tradition in Japan, especially for leaders of Tea schools and Theatrical schools.-

Does it mean the CEP changes solar system names to honor newly appointed CEOs?

There are agents with surnames taken from different systems; Stedald Yrmori being a very noticeable minmatar agent. I think it would be more of a case of the surnames being taken from the system names; we already have contemporary surnames stemming from locations, it's not that far-fetched.

That would make a lot of sense for tube children with no last name of their own. I wonder how many of those listed above are Deteis.

Also Iwisoda, being in Black Rise, was only charted/discovered a few years ago and is likely to be barely colonized.

A name of the explorer/financier to first chart the systems gravimetric makeup (important for building stargates)?

This would seem to make sense for the Caldari systems since they were colonized by the Caldari and not charted by the Amarr for example.

A significant number of them are, which does support that idea.

Deteis
Tantima Iwisoda - CEO of Ytiri
Ienashi Hurtoken - CEO of Propel Dynamics
Raurvoras Umokka - CEO of Zainou
Ahtimi Kirras – CEO of Poksu Mineral Group

Civire
Ahtonen Osmon – CEO of Hyasyoda

I wonder if some of the Civire who have system names (I think there might be others mentioned in the agent lists, but I'm not awake enough to confirm that) had ancestors who shed their surnames when they left the Federation for the State?  I'm thinking that, oh, a Gallenteanized surname -- or an actual Gallentean one picked up via marriage -- might not have been an asset during the early days of the State.

Dex's family modified their surname, if I remember right.  The Varo family of Civire who works for Celeste had Miesian ancestors named Varonne (which is awfully close to Duripanti Verone, now that I think about it :P).

When coming up with discovery names, there's usually a lot of happenstance involved. 

However, I'd like to think Caldari executives use the namings as bargaining chips.

Drift more like, the Gallente side does not use the "r" in Nederland - Nedeland.  Dex's recent ancestors have tried to be archetypical Caldari to demonstrator that the name with Gallente origins (and cousins) they are any less Caldari than say the Hakatain's.

I had no idea about any of this.

Thanks for pointing it out.
