Wow. That's one I can actually answer:

from:

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/patronymic


      Noun

*patronymic* (/plural/: *patronymics 
<http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/patronymics>*)


"1. name acquired from one's father's, grandfather's or earlier male 
ancestor's first name. Some cultures use a patronymic where other 
cultures use a surname <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/surname> or family 
name; other cultures {like Russia} use both a patronymic and a surname."

In the case of Cawti, she has not revealed a patgronymic, or "family 
name" to Vlad or Noish-Pa that we know of. It is not clear if she is 
aware of who her father even is, although there is some evidence from 
SKZB directly to provide readers with some idea of this information.
