Mongolian fist and last names.

So I am writing a story and one of the main characters is of Mongolian descent. He is particularly proud of his heritage. The problem is, I don't know many names used by the Steppe people.

 

I've done some light digging and behind the name gave me a list of like nine names and I don't know if they are surnames or proper ones. Name Generator was no help in that regard either even when the selection was greater and I'm not sure it's as authentic, not even mentioning it doesn't give a description of what the names mean. 

 

Call it forcive habit from starting writing with fanfic for this show, but layered meaning with names has become a large part of how I inform character. Plus I don't just want to plop a random name that "just sounds" Mongolian with no regards to accuracy.

 

So if anypony has any knowledge of traditional Mongolian naming scheme or a site with information on such, I would appreciate the help.
