About fantasy kingdom names

Fantasy kingdom names fall into a few recognizable families, and the great worldbuilders mix them deliberately. Tolkien built Gondor, Rohan, and Arnor from invented languages with consistent sounds. George R. R. Martin used plain English descriptors (the Reach, the Riverlands, the Stormlands) so the map reads like a real one. Warhammer's Old World borrows from real European names (Bretonnia, Estalia, Kislev), while the Forgotten Realms lean on short, punchy invented names like Amn, Thay, and Cormyr. High-fantasy staples like Eldoria and Aetheria use Latin and Greek endings (-ia, -or, -eth) to sound ancient and grand.

This list draws on all of those styles. You will find Latinate names for shining kingdoms, Norse and Germanic names for cold northern realms (Kaldrheim, Ulfgard, Skarnholt), Anglo-Saxon compounds for grounded human lands (Westmarch, Greywater, Coldharbour), regional descriptors in the Martin style (The Marchlands, The Amber Coast), and full titles that state the form of government: kingdoms, empires, duchies, khanates, sultanates, and merchant republics.

A good kingdom name should tell you something about the place before you visit it. Ashenvale suggests a burned or volcanic land; The Free Cities suggests trade and independence; The Kingdom Under the Mountain suggests dwarves. Choose the flavor first, then the name, and your map will feel like it has history.

Tips for choosing a name

  • Give each culture on your map its own linguistic flavor: Latinate for the old empire, Norse for the north, Anglo-Saxon compounds for the heartland, so readers can place a name by sound.
  • Match the title to the government: 'Kingdom of' for hereditary monarchies, 'Empire' for conquerors, 'Duchy' or 'March' for vassal states, 'Republic' for merchant cities.
  • Use descriptive English names (The Reach, The Fens) for regions and invented proper names (Caeldor, Vaelmont) for the kingdoms that rule them; the mix looks like a real map.
  • Avoid ending every name in -ia; break it up with -mark, -holm, -gard, -reach, and plain compounds like Blackfen.
  • Write one line about how the kingdom got its name, whether from a founder, a river, or a battle, and reuse that founder or river elsewhere in your world.

Frequently asked questions

How do you come up with a good fantasy kingdom name?

Start with the land's character and the culture that lives there, then pick a naming style to match: Latin-flavored endings for a grand old kingdom, Norse compounds for a cold northern one, or a plain English descriptor like The Riverlands. Consistency within a culture matters more than any single name.

Why do so many fantasy kingdoms end in -ia?

The -ia ending comes from Latin and Greek place names (Britannia, Hispania) and signals a country to English speakers. It works, but overuse makes a map feel generic, so mix in endings like -mark, -holm, -reach, and -gard.

Can I use these kingdom names in a published novel or game?

Most are free to use. A few well-known names such as Gondor, Rohan, Cormyr, Bretonnia, and The Sword Coast are included as examples of style and belong to Tolkien, Wizards of the Coast, or Games Workshop; use the original names or your own inventions for commercial work.

What's the difference between a kingdom, an empire, and a realm?

A kingdom is ruled by a monarch over one people or territory, an empire rules multiple peoples or conquered kingdoms, and 'realm' is a general word for any ruled territory. Choosing the right word in the title tells readers the scale and politics of your setting.
