About bannerlord names

Every culture in Calradia borrows its sound from a real medieval neighbour, so a Bannerlord name feels right when it follows the same borrowing. Vlandian names are Norman and Frankish (Derthert, Ingalther, Ecarand, Calatild) and nobles take the particle dey before a house name. Sturgians mix Rus and Norse (Raganvad, Olek, Vyldur, Svana) with clan names ending in -oving. Battanians are Celtic and Welsh, often with a double consonant or a -dog, -wal or -wen ending (Caladog, Ergeon, Cadwal, Branwen), and clans take fen. Aserai names are Arabic (Unqid, Adram, Sahir, Lamia) and family names begin Banu. Khuzait names are Mongol and Turkic (Monchug, Mesui, Hurunag, Tuya) and a rider is usually introduced as being of a steppe clan. Imperial names are late Roman and Greek (Rhagaea, Garios, Lucon, Ira).

This list gives you canon rulers and lords for reference, then hundreds of original given names for men and women in each culture, full names with an invented clan in the right style, and nicknamed wanderers such as Tavrin Coalbiter and Hessa the Spicevendor for the companion slots. Your name sits next to the clan name on every banner and encyclopedia entry, so pick the given name here, the clan on our Bannerlord clan page, and check that the two read well together.

Tips for choosing a name

  • Match the character's birth culture at creation: a Vlandian named Monchug or a Khuzait named Derthert will look wrong in the encyclopedia next to their kin.
  • Keep given names to one word; Bannerlord puts the clan name after it automatically, so Harlan dey Brevant becomes Harlan in dialogue and Harlan dey Brevant on the clan screen.
  • For a culture clash story, use a name from one culture with a clan from another, such as a Sturgian name in an Imperial family, and explain it in your character's backstory.
  • Name your heirs consistently: canon families reuse sounds (Garios and Lucon, Raganvad and Olek), so a dynasty of Vlandians should all sound Frankish rather than one child being Khuzait-named.
  • Companion-style nicknames (the Surgeon, Coalbiter, of the Fens) work well for custom troop captains and for wanderers you add with mods, but avoid them for nobles.

Frequently asked questions

What real cultures are Bannerlord's names based on?

Vlandia draws on Norman and Frankish names, Sturgia on Kievan Rus and Norse, Battania on Welsh and Gaelic, the Aserai on Arabic, the Khuzait on Mongol and Turkic, and the Calradic Empire on late Roman and Byzantine Greek. Taleworlds altered spellings so they are distinctive, which is why this list bends real names the same way.

Can I rename my character after starting a Bannerlord campaign?

Not from the base game menus, but you can edit your name through the clan screen with the developer console or common mods, and you can of course name every child and adopted companion from the clan screen as they join.

Do names affect gameplay in Bannerlord?

No. Names are purely cosmetic; your culture choice sets the gameplay bonuses. The name only matters for immersion, since it appears on banners, the encyclopedia, dialogue and in the names of any kingdom or clan you found.

Should I use a clan name too?

Yes. Bannerlord asks for a clan name separately at character creation, and the combination is what most players see. Our Bannerlord clan name generator lists dey, fen, Banu, -oving, steppe and Imperial family names that pair with the given names here.
