Avowed Name Generator

Avowed takes place in the Living Lands, a frontier island of Eora, the same world as Pillars of Eternity, so its names follow the cultures Obsidian has been building since 2015. Your Envoy comes from the Aedyr Empire, where human and wood elf names have an Old English shape: Edér, Aldwyn, Wenna, with sturdy surnames like Teylecg or Corfiser. Vailian settlers and merchants in Paradis use Italian-sounding names with the aristocratic particle mes or di (Giatta, Pallegina mes Rèi). Orlans lean Welsh and Cornish (Yatzli, Hiravias, Brennoc), aumaua names draw on Māori and Polynesian sounds with long vowels (Kai, Kana Rua, Tekēhu), boreal dwarves use short Arctic-flavored names like Sagani, and pale elves from the White that Wends sound faintly Norse (Ydwin, Vatnir).

The list opens with the companions and major figures players meet in Dawnshore and beyond, then moves through original names grouped by culture, followed by Steel Garrote and Inquisition titles and a run of epithets for godlike envoys marked by the strange growths that set the protagonist apart.

To make a name feel native to Eora, pick one culture and stay inside it: an Aedyran first name with a Vailian mes-surname reads as a mixed heritage, which is fine if that is the story, and jarring if it is not.
