If you want a made up word then thanatochrononomical seems to supply the right morphemes: "Death", "Time", "Name" from greek. "Thanatochrons" for short or perhaps TCNs or even corrupted over time to "Teeken" - up to you. Alternativley Thanatonoms "Death names" maybe shortens to Thanoms.

As another possibility, you can look at the language native to that group you are talking about, what are their words for death, name, time?
