Anonymous; Black Manta is his biological father. Aqualad, however, thinks Cal Durham is his dad (he was named after him, after all). Cal raised him, and still lives in Shayeris. My best guess for the "ethnic names" is that Sha'lain'a is a name from Shayeris, and Kaldur'ahm is adapted to Shayerisian customs. Atlantis is not a city, it's a country with several city states and vastly different cultures. We've only seen the capital, Poseidonis, so far.

Robin may live with Batman, but Kid Flash does not live with Flash (I imagine he lives across the street, though) and Artemis does not live with GA (they live on either side of the country).
