How are the beornings named?

[Celeborn]

I am wondering how the beornings are named. If i could figure out what they called gandalf in the hobbit.... Would they use elvish names since they live so close to the elves in the kingdom of mirkwood?

Isnt it because of Beorn in the Hobbit?

They would be named anyway they would want. Although they are of the house of beor (men). ....... beorn maybe??

I don't know what beornings are but Mina makes sense because the Eorlingas are named after Eorl the Young right?
