What does あとな mean here?


あとな、わしの名はバルタザールだ。

Is it "And my name is Balthazar" or "My last name is Balthazar"?




「 **あとな** 」 is a light and informal way of saying " **in addition** " and it
has the same kind of nuance as " **Oh, before I forget,** ~~".

Think of 「な」 as a variant of 「ね」, the sentence-ending particle.

You can say just 「あと」 without a sentence-ender in informal speech. Or rather,
I should say that 「あと」 is not used in formal speech. In formal speech, you
would use 「 **それから** 」.

Seems to me like someone had mispronounced バルタザール's name and バルタザール is now
correcting it, but if that is not the case, please forget this comment.
