How to Choose a Good Medieval Name

Think About the Time Period

The Middle Ages lasted for many centuries, so naming styles changed over time. Decide whether your character belongs to an early, high, or late medieval setting.

Match the Character

A king, knight, merchant, farmer, monk, and villager may all need different naming styles.

Keep It Memorable

Choose a name that is easy to pronounce and remember, especially for games and stories.

Add a Surname or Title

A family name, location, occupation, or title can make a simple first name much more distinctive.
