Here is a collection of interesting Medieval Names that I have collected. they come from a wide variety of sources. Also there is name places and title. Anything interesting when it comes to names. This is an ongoing list that is growing so bookmark this and check back.

I have compiled this list of Medieval Names and places from a wide variety of sources including books, historical events and places, novels and many other sources.

If you are a video game player and looking for an interesting name this is a great resource. If you are a writer or video game designer this is also a great resource because of all the interesting place and event names.

Trying to put together a good Medieval name title like Sir John of Canterbury or Lord Markett the Brave? Hop down the page to the Title and Name Suggestions

A web vistitor suggested I put a section for horse names. That's a really great idea so I added a section at the bottom and of course I put Shadowfax. But I need more names! So if you have suggestions for medieval names of horse send them to me!!

I am currently adding and updating a new section of names for gamers. It is aimed at making names for your characters that are of different races like Dwarves and Elves. Hop Down the Page to this Section Dwarf and Elf Names

New Section: A web visitor suggested I do Names for Dragons! And that is a great idea so down toward the bottom I have added a section for that :) Dragon Names

I received an email from somebody with some great name suggestions. I added these suggestions but I also wanted to say that the person signed the email "Ann O. Nymous" lol! Which in itself is a great name :) My thanks to Ann for the suggestions.

If you have ideas for Medieval names or you have suggestions send the webmaster an email!

Here are some great names that a web visitor suggested:
Selda of Blackrain
Sir Quaren the Bold
Sir Charles of Denvorn
Arthur Binnety
King Roger Mickney the 3rd
Duke Sherman of Dukeville
Antwan the Monk
Sir Daniel the Cute
Sir Justin of Shining Armor
Sir Nick the Mighty
Maiden Mary
Lady Sydney
Queen Oz
Queen of Oz!

Here are more suggestions by a web visitor and I like the idea of names of medieval towns and the names of swords!

Names of People:
Lythwyn the Bowman
Archduke Jeffyrson of Cornalius
Cheshire Charles Chyfles of Chyncharm
Steward Calvin Strayts
Daniel Snellson of Bristol

Names of Swords:
Icutum
Velocerere
Dracolatus

Names of Towns:
Balwynward
Styphoryte
Carlyn
Here are some more great suggestions by a web visitor:
Tannin, means 'dragon' in Hebrew.
Tobran (a barbarian)
Jhyn (asian half-elf)
Taor Raorenson ('cursed' minotaur)
Kolanthel (elven-raised half-elf).

Another name is from a great-something grandfather, and guess it originally came out of either the Iliad or Odyssey: Alcinus. Dunno if the Greeks said it like <awl-KIN-us>, but for the family it was <al-SIGH-nus>, as if we we're discussing some guy's cold symptoms ("... and then there's Al's sinus problems...") The first, hard-C version sounds heroic enough for the list you've made, but the soft-C version seems more like it should be a villainry section.

And don't forget you can just stick a medieval suffix on some names. For example, -vin or -wyn means FRIEND:

Alvin, 'friend of all'
Baldwin, 'bold friend'
Calvin, 'faithful friend'
Devin, 'friend of the divine' or 'poet'
Elvin, 'friend of elves'
Kelvin, 'friend of ships'

-Smith (metalsmith)
-(name)-bard (storyteller or minstrel)
-Cooper (barrel-maker)
-(name)-son (son of "name")

-ley/-leigh means 'from the field', -lock 'lake', -well, -wise/-vis, -rick/-righ (king), -ton 'town', -wood, -ward 'protector', -drake (dragon), -brook & -burn 'from the stream', -stone/-ston, -wyk/-wich 'man', -mond/-mount, -bert 'bright', -hill/-dale/-tor/-crest (hill), -row (path or line), -brake (hedge)

Those are all anglo-saxon, mind you, but Tolkien did fair adding to a common Hebraic name-root: Samwise. Still, surmise that there'd be similar lists from other ethnicities if you looked. Just keep it down to AT MOST 4 syllables with the suffix. Can even combine them: Estonbrook means somethig like "from the stony stream".

Medieval Title and Naming Suggestions

Before the Persons name you can put their title. Some examples:

Lord Baldor

Archbishop Drake

Commander Dilston

Duke William

Duchess Elizabeth

Prince William

You can also append to the name of the person and there were two usual ways to do this: By the place they came from or a characteristic about them

Characteristics:

Sir William The Brave

Lord Walter The Courageous

Sir James the Red

Admiral Stout the Strong

The Lionhearted

The Great

From Where:

Mary, Queen of Scots

The Archbishop of Canterbury

The Prince of Wales

William of Wykeham

Roland of York

Of course you can combine these two techniques and create the name with a suffix and a prefix

Sir William the Strong

Suggestions and tips for Names of other races in your game

So you are looking for a name for your character in a video games? One of the best things about doing this is that these types of characters lend themselves really nicely to unique names that still have a flavor for the race. Here are some examples:

Dwarves: There are lots of great things you can do with dwarf names that express their uniqueness. Use words like: stone, iron, rock, boulder, earth, shield, mace, helm, stocky, solid, short, fist, shovel, dig, mine, or any kind of mineral. Dwarves have the traditional reputation of being short, having beards and being miners so you can use anything that shows this in the name. Here are some dwarf name examples:

And Dwarf names really sound great when they are longer. For example: Stoneshield Littledigger is a great name. Or Silverbeard Ironmace.

If you are looking for a dwarf name that is not a word but still sounds dwarfish consider using some of the hard consonants like R and K.

Roggar Littledigger

Kargeth Stonehammer

Rukkek Tunnelmaker

Cronkar Yellowmace

Delvkanash

Brkasack

Bislekar

Elves: Now elves have a totally different look and feel which lends itself to some great elven names. You should think about their slender tall bodies and translate this into words. Use the softer consonants and mix it up with nature type words.

Leleanda

Orienla

Allalian treesinger

Jelianlee bowmaster

Ulalla greenmeadows

Elwendia Forestfriend

Yeerlin Silverleaf

Choriandus

Bealcrest

Slikver

Glandias

Bruhamoff

Orcs: Orcs have a very guttural language and of course that means their names will be very guttural. Here are a couple of suggestions by a web visitor (Zak).

Agronach

Molag

Gludbog zugrak brugnab zark drurk gruk nubdak agguh subush zuzug jagluk
