Russian term or phrase: Как можно догадаться по имени, прибыл сюда

The meaning of this phrase escapes me.

Unfortunately, I have almost no context to offer.

It is in this phrase: Как можно догадаться по имени, прибыл сюда с аллода Форокс, чтобы, так сказать, своим мастерством поспособствовать славе Новограда! (Like that helps at all. I believe Allod is a place and I believe Forox is a person. )

Аллоды — вымышленная вселенная и серия компьютерных ролевых игр с элементами стратегии, основанных на общей сюжетной линии — мире, распавшемся на части в результате магических опытов.

http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Аллоды

The word "allod" itself denotes a kind of estate -

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allodial_title

The sentence implies that inhabitants of different allods have very characteristic names, which can tell you where they come from.
