There are few names given in KOS, though lots of clans. I'm sure folk working on tribal histories can give us names of their hero ancestors. I have a few for the Far Place.
In one of the first prophecies of the Hero Wars, according to the Colymar Book (KOS 200) Enestakos the Stargazer had a vision which said, "The wound of the god can be healed, but the healer must come from the cleansed land where no men now live." It gave a series of omens for when the time was right, and when the Pharoah came ashore and civil war errupted, the omens came to pass.
Colymar and his wife Hareva led the newly formed Black Spear clan beyond the Crossline to Clearwine around 1300.
A first wave of small groups followed around 1325.
A second, better organised clan-based wave followed shortly after. It included the Torkani, Culbrea, Dundealos, Malani and Balmyr. These tribes were later collectively known as the Quivini, after the mountain range.
>From the north, Arim the Pauper first entered the Pass around 1330, after
the enslavement of Holay by the Conquering Daughter. From his people come
the Tarsh tribe, though many were enslaved in the early years by the Grazer
king Goldhand.
Taros the Ridgeleaper and his sons Vantar and Tovar led the Far Walkers across Dwarf Run in 1357. They reclaimed the ruins of Alda Chur from the Beast Folk, and from them come the first tribes of the Far Place, the Vantaros, Princeros, Tovtaros and now extinct Kesdarnii tribes.
