    Does anyone who has good Eberron lore know if there are any info about Valenar family or surnames? I could not find any info. Thanks

    Here's a thread on this forum:
    http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=122272

    Here's the section:
    Aerenal and Valenar names tend to use the same patterns. Vowel sounds tend to predominate, with fewer consonants. Common names include Belareth, Tezaera, Syraen, Aeren, Allais, Dailan, Kylaer, Maellas, Thalaen, Vylae, Fianan, Kaelan, Lia, Niath, Shearan, Tairil, Thail, Vaelas, Vaelin, Xael (elven names don't tend to distinguish between male and female).

    Khorvaire Elves, those who no longer consider themselves part of the Aerenal or Valenar nations, tend to use the same conventions as well, though their names are often shorter and have some distinction between male and female names, though there is some overlap. Example male names include Aesha, Daellin, Marrath or Tellian. Some female example names are Innae, Paela, Phaeani, Sailla or X'ennia.

    Those are first names not family/surnames., big difference. Anyways i got my answer from Mr. Baker himself very quickly too.

    Page 19 of The Player's Guide To Eberron discusses this, giving a few of the Aereni lines: Melideth, Jhaelian, Mendyrian (the line of the current Sibling Kings), Tolaen, and Dolorenthi. Other examples of Aereni lines can be seen in the families of House Phiarlan and Thuranni, who were after all once Aereni: Phiarlan, Shol, Tialaen, Elorenthi, Thuranni, and Paelion. Some of the Tairnadal lines mentioned so far include Vadallia, Taeri, Jennaris, Threnell, Phasha, and Shal.
    Doh!!! I totally missed that section when I scan my copy.
