The Sangheili use a naming structure laced with many honorary titles, which are added to the end (suffixes) of names to mark ability, as well as middle names usually used to denote ranks and skill in combat. I found a few examples:

-ee: This is the most common suffix, issued to all Sangheili soldiers of the Covenant, until Post-Schism where they separated from the Covenant, thus removing the -ee suffix. Ex. Ado 'Mortumee

-ai: This suffix denotes someone who has inherited an Energy Sword and is deemed a Swordsmen, when from then on cannot marry and is expected to mate for the sake of spreading the Swordsmen gene. Ex. Bero 'Kusavai

-Vo'ha: Sangheili Generals get the title of Vo'ha to add to their names, showing their abilities in combat.

-'Xar: A middle name given to Sangheili who are Shipmasters. Ex'a 'Xar 'Nitolee

-'Nar: Given to the Sangheili who bear the honor of being Fleet Masters. Ex. Varo 'Nar 'Mantakree

-'Jar: A middle name which is given only to Imperial Admirals. Ex. Xytan 'Jar 'Wattinree
