Generate Eragon-style names from the world of the Inheritance Cycle: canon characters like Arya, Orik and Nar Garzhvog, plus original names in the same elvish, dwarvish, Urgal, dragon and Palancar Valley registers for fan fiction, RPGs and dragon companions.

About Eragon names

Christopher Paolini built Alagaësia's names out of several distinct sound-worlds, and a name only feels like it belongs in the Inheritance Cycle when it sits in the right one. Humans of Palancar Valley and the Empire carry rustic Germanic and Old English names: Garrow, Horst, Roran, Sloan, Katrina, Albriech, Birgit. The Varden and Surda lean a little more exotic with Nasuada, Ajihad, Jörmundur and Fadawar. Elves speak the Ancient Language and their names are full of diaereses and acute accents (Islanzadí, Blödhgarm, Fäolin, Uthinarë, Däthedr), while dwarves use circumflexes and hard clusters (Ûndin, Manndrâth, Kvîstor, Hrothgar) and Urgals favour guttural kh, zh and gh sounds with the war-chief prefix Nar (Nar Garzhvog, Khagra, Yarbog). Dragons get sonorous names like Saphira, Glaedr, Fírnen, Jarnunvösk and Umaroth.

This generator mixes canon characters with original names written in each of those registers, plus Ancient Language words that work as sword or dragon names (Brisingr, Zar'roc, Adurna), epithets in the books' style (Shadeslayer, Stronghammer, Argetlam), and the places of Alagaësia from Carvahall to Vroengard. Use it to name a Dragon Rider OC, a dwarf of Dûrgrimst Ingeitum, an Urgal Kull, or the dragon that hatches for your character.

How to choose Eragon names

Decide the race first: elf names want accents and soft vowels (Säelin, Navírë), dwarf names want circumflexes and hard consonants (Brûndor, Thâlgrim), and Urgal names want kh, zh and gh (Ghashtok, Zhurgak).
Human characters from Carvahall should sound plain and farm-rooted (Hadric, Wenna, Tolvin); save the ornate names for elves, Riders and nobles.
Earn an epithet rather than inventing one: Eragon becomes Shadeslayer after Durza and Roran becomes Stronghammer in battle, so give an original character a deed before a title.
Dragons name themselves in the books, so pick something weighty and two or three syllables long (Vaelorix, Ondraum, Thrysta) rather than a cute pet name.
Ancient Language words make excellent sword, spell and dragon names: Brisingr means fire, Adurna water, Vindr wind, and Skölir shield.

Frequently asked questions

Are these names from the actual Eragon books?

Some are. Canon characters, dragons, places and clans from the Inheritance Cycle (Eragon, Arya, Orik, Nar Garzhvog, Fírnen, Tronjheim) are mixed with hundreds of original names written in the same elvish, dwarvish, Urgal, human and dragon styles so you can name new characters that fit the world.

How do I tell an elf name from a dwarf name in Alagaësia?

Elf names use diaereses and acute accents over soft vowels, such as Islanzadí, Fäolin, Linnëa and Uthinarë. Dwarf names use circumflexes and heavier consonant clusters, such as Ûndin, Îorûnn, Manndrâth and Kvîstor, and clans take the prefix Dûrgrimst.

What makes a good dragon name in the Eragon style?

Dragons in the books choose their own names and they tend to be rolling, two- or three-syllable words with strong vowels: Saphira, Glaedr, Shruikan, Jarnunvösk, Umaroth, Bid'Daum. Original names like Ardunir, Syrilith or Kharvexis follow that pattern. Many Riders also add an Ancient Language epithet such as Bjartskular (Brightscales).

Can I use these names for an Eragon OC or RPG character?

Yes. The original names are free to use in fan fiction, tabletop campaigns set in Alagaësia or your own dragon-rider world. Canon names belong to the books and are included for reference and inspiration.
