Sanmran short name

Sanmran short names, nicknames, or iprisil (informal) are shortened or slang versions of personal names. They are typically used only by a person's close family or friends, although some celebrities use a short name as a stage name or as a way to make their name more distinctive. (This practice was probably started by some or another popular singer as a sort of "we're all best friends" move, and has become widely used.)

Traditional short names are based on an individual's full personal name and are semi-standardized. For example, "Lıs" is a standard short form of "Alın" and "Yana" is a standard short form of "Yarwe". Nontraditional short names are sometimes still based on a personal name--e.g. "Yara" could be a nickname for "Yarwe", albeit not a standard one--but can also be based on a person's appearance, personality, or simply chosen at random. Among younger Sanmrans, it is common to have one short name used by family (likely a traditional one) and another short name used by friends (likely a nontraditional one, but sometimes a different traditional one).
