Cardshark pretty much got the explainations right.

To add on, all characters are named after colors (or at lease something that makes you think like a color, etc). Cept Ozpin, because he's a special case. Monty's word.

Reason why (in a Canon perspective) it's most likely first name over the last (you can use both too, like Cyril Ian= Cerulean) is because of what was stated in Ozpin's speach in Vol 2 Episode 8. Pretty much, it became a world-wide tradition to name their children after color, the biggest aspect of art, after a large war had left many pieces of artwork in ruin.

You can't exactly have "Bob Red", descendant of the "Red Clan" because it's not following the tradition at all (not to mention a pretty lazy way to get by IMO). "But Lisa Lavender and Ironwood?" Yes, those two seem like they have references in their last name only, however it was proven by a user on here that there are color allusions in their first names as well (just forgot the meaning for James. I remember Lisa relates to a lily, like the flower).
