Romulan House-Clans

The following is a list of the major House-Clans, or Hfihrnn, of the Romulan Star Empire. These clans form the elite of Romulan society. There are also numerous minor clans. Clan membership is matrilineal. Husbands, upon marriage, become members of their wives' clan and take their family name. The prefix "s'" before a clan name basically denotes "House of." s'Droall means "House of Droall."

Not every Romulan is a member of a clan. Many lower class Romulans do not belong to clans, and criminals or other undesirables are often stripped of membership in their houses.
