About Fontaine names
Fontaine is the Hydro nation of Genshin Impact, a land of courts, opera and clockwork, and HoYoverse gave it French names with a few English and Italian touches. Most of the cast goes by one given name: Furina, Navia, Clorinde, Lyney, Lynette, Charlotte, Emilie. Neuvillette, Chevreuse and Escoffier sound like French surnames or place names, Wriothesley is an English aristocratic surname, and the Spina di Rosula carries an Italian name. Fuller forms tie a person to a place with the particle de, as in Furina de Fontaine and Rene de Petrichor.
Titles matter in a nation run from a courtroom. Neuvillette is the Iudex, Wriothesley is the Duke who runs the Fortress of Meropide and Clorinde is a Champion Duelist, so this list adds magistrates, divas, reporters, divers and meka technicians in the same spirit. The Melusines have their own sound: short, soft names like Sedene, Liath and Elphane, joined here by invented ones such as Ondelle and Lirielle and a few from water lore such as Melior and Nimue.
The list mixes the game's cast, titles and places with original given names, full names (some with de, du or des), surnames, and names for cafes, troupes, workshops and quarters of the Court of Fontaine. The original names are fan-made and keep to real French forms.
How to choose Fontaine names
- One given name is enough for a playable-style OC. Add a surname when family or rank matters: a particle before a place name (de Clairvaux, de Bellefontaine) reads as old nobility, while trade names like Marchand, Fournier and Tessier read as ordinary townsfolk.
- Decide how to treat accents and stay consistent. The game drops most of them (Emilie, Freminet), so writing Celeste for Céleste or Leopoldine for Léopoldine is in keeping with its spelling.
- Give the character a job that belongs to Fontaine. Court clerk, duelist, opera singer, Steambird reporter, diver, patissier and meka technician all place a name in the setting faster than a backstory does.
- Keep Melusine names short and soft, two or three syllables with no surname, such as Nerelle, Lunelle or Perlane. They suit Marechaussee Phantom officers and aquabus guides.
- Avoid German, Chinese and Japanese sounds so the name is not mistaken for Mondstadt, Liyue or Inazuma. Endings in -ine, -ette, -elle, -ien and -ard keep it Fontainian.
Frequently asked questions
What language are Fontaine names based on?
Mostly French. Navia, Clorinde, Charlotte, Emilie and Freminet are French or French-sounding given names, and Neuvillette and Chevreuse sound like French surnames or places. A few names point elsewhere: Wriothesley is English, and the Spina di Rosula and the Remurian names such as Remus, Scylla and Boethius lean Italian, Latin and Greek.
Which names on this list are from the game?
The playable cast and a few NPCs, titles such as Chief Justice and Champion Duelist, places such as Opera Epiclese, Poisson and Palais Mermonia, and several Melusines including Sedene, Liath and Elphane. Everything else, from Apolline Montclair and Garde Mathurin to Café Beaurivage and Troupe Arc-en-Ciel, is fan-made in the same style and is not game lore.
How do I use de in a Fontaine surname?
Write the particle in lower case before a place or estate name: de Marigny, de Varennes. It shortens to d' before a vowel (d'Orval, d'Aubigny), becomes du before a masculine noun (du Lac) and des before a plural (des Roches).
How are Melusine names different from human names?
Melusines use a single short name with a soft, fairy-tale sound, as the game shows with Sedene, Kiara, Blathine and Muirne. The original ones here follow that pattern: Ondelle, Ysolene, Brumelle and Ecumine are invented, and a few such as Melior, Palatyne and Asrai are borrowed from old water and fairy lore.
