Female Paladin Name Generator

The word paladin comes from the twelve peers of Charlemagne's court, and the female knights of that same medieval romance tradition, Bradamante and Marfisa in Orlando Furioso, Britomart in The Faerie Queene, Clorinda in Jerusalem Delivered, are the original female paladins. Their names, along with those of warrior saints (Joan of Arc, Perpetua, Felicity, Ursula) and Anglo-Saxon and Frankish noblewomen who led armies (Aethelflaed, Clothilde, Radegund), give the most authentic-sounding options: dignified, slightly old-fashioned, and rooted in faith and chivalry.

A full paladin name in D&D and similar settings usually has three parts, though not all are used at once. First is a given name that sounds devout or noble (Aveline, Isolde, Genevieve, Solveig). Second is either a family surname of the knightly class (Ashcroft, Beaumont, Fairfax, von Rosenau) or a title marking the order she serves (Dame, Ser, Sister, Lady). Third, and most distinctively, is an oath-name or epithet earned in service: the Steadfast, Ironvow, Dawnsworn, of the Morning. Compound names like Sunmantle or Lightward should be used sparingly so that they feel like honors rather than defaults.

The list moves from plain given names to titled knights to epithet-bearing champions, so you can name a fresh squire and her legendary mentor from the same source.
