About fantasy year names

Before years had numbers that everyone agreed on, they had names. The Romans identified a year by the two consuls who held office in it, English law long dated statutes by the year of the monarch's reign, and Lakota winter counts recorded each year with one picture of its most memorable event. An invented calendar can work the same way: a chronicler looks back, picks the thing everyone remembers, and the year is called that from then on.

This list holds 1,000 names for a single year, not for an age or a century. About a third use the classic 'Year of the' form with a specific image, such as Year of the Drowned Bell or Year of the Green Comet. The rest take other shapes: regnal years (The Third Year of Queen Isolde), clause names (The Year the Sea Withdrew), counted years (Twelve After the Landing), one-word names (Lanternfall, Oathbreak) and words that stand in for 'year', like Twelvemonth, Turning, Round and Sunround.

The themes run from omens, weather, harvests, war, plague and comets to saints' years, a cycle of totem beasts, and elvish and dwarven reckonings in rings, leaf-falls, seams and tallies. Village nicknames such as The Year the Mill Burned sit beside the formal ones, because one year can carry both.

How to choose fantasy year names

  • Name the year after the one event people would still mention twenty years later. One event per year keeps a timeline readable.
  • Give an important year two names: a formal one for the chronicle, like Year of the Schism at Lornwater, and a village one, like The Year the Mill Burned. Characters show where they come from by which one they use.
  • Swap the rulers, saints and places for your own. The Third Year of Queen Isolde becomes a regnal year of your kingdom by changing one name.
  • Pick one word for 'year' per culture, such as Turning, Round, Ring or Tally, and keep to it, so readers learn to hear who is speaking.
  • Some published settings have long rolls of named years. If you plan to publish, search any name you want to keep, especially a short 'Year of the' one, before you commit to it.

Frequently asked questions

How is a year name different from an era name?

A year name labels one turn of the calendar, usually after its most memorable event, while an era name covers a long span such as an age or a dynasty. Year of the Late Snow is a single year; an Age of Ash would hold hundreds of them. Every entry in this list names one year.

Do all the names start with 'Year of the'?

No. About a third do, and each of those carries a specific image instead of one bare noun. The others include regnal years such as The Ninth Year of Empress Kesmira, clause names such as The Year the Forest Moved, one-word names such as Cometfall, and forms built on Twelvemonth, Turning, Round, Ring and Tally.

How do I build a cycle of beast years for my world?

Choose a fixed number of animals that matter to the culture and repeat them in the same order, so every year has a beast and people can tell their age by it. The list has material such as Year of the Grey Heron, Otter Year and The Wheel Comes to the Toad. Give each beast a trait the year is expected to bring, and let characters argue about whether it did.

How do elves and dwarves name years in this list?

The elvish forms count in tree rings, leaf-falls and songs, as in The Thousandth Ring of the Mother Oak, and about a dozen use the made-up word 'vaen' for year. The dwarven forms count in seams, tallies and hammer-rounds, as in The Tally of the Red Gold Seam, and a handful use the made-up word 'korl' the same way. Both words were made up for this list, so rename them to suit your own languages.
