About Game of Thrones city names

Westeros has only five true cities (King's Landing, Oldtown, Lannisport, Gulltown and White Harbor), so most settlements in A Song of Ice and Fire are market towns, ports and villages, and their names read like an English county map. George R. R. Martin builds them from a feature of the land plus a plain Old English ending: Fairmarket, Stoney Sept, Saltpans, Maidenpool, Duskendale, Bitterbridge, Tumbleton, Barrowton. Towns that grew up beside a castle simply borrow the castle's name, which is why there is a Wintertown below Winterfell and a Mole's Town south of the Wall.

Across the Narrow Sea the sound changes completely. The Free Cities carry clipped Valyrian and Rhoynish names (Braavos, Pentos, Myr, Lys, Tyrosh, Volantis, Qohor, Norvos, Lorath), Slaver's Bay uses Ghiscari names heavy on double vowels and harsh consonants (Meereen, Yunkai, Astapor), the Dothraki prefix every settlement with Vaes, the Rhoyne's dead cities hint at a lost tongue (Chroyane, Ny Sar, Ghoyan Drohe), and the far east drifts into Yi Ti and Asshai.

This list mixes every canon city and notable town from the books and show with hundreds of originals built the same way, so a custom settlement for fan fiction, roleplay or a mod sits naturally beside the real ones.

How to choose Game of Thrones city names

  • Pick the region first. Northern and Riverlands towns want short, bleak compounds (Barrowton, Saltpans); the Reach and Vale can take softer names like Bitterbridge or Maidenpool; Dorne borrows sun, sand and Rhoynish words.
  • For a town outside a castle, reuse the castle's name with a plain suffix or prefix, as the books do with Wintertown, Lordsport and Pebbleton.
  • Essosi cities rarely use English words. Keep them to one or two syllables with Valyrian vowels (-os, -is, -ys) for the Free Cities, or Vaes plus a Dothraki word for horselord settlements.
  • Let the name explain the economy: Saltpans, Fairmarket, Spicetown and Planky Town all tell you what the place does for a living.
  • Avoid titles like King, Dragon or Storm for minor settlements; real Westerosi towns are named for fords, hills, fairs and septs.

Frequently asked questions

What are the real cities in Game of Thrones?

Westeros has five cities: King's Landing, Oldtown, Lannisport, Gulltown and White Harbor. Essos adds the nine Free Cities (Braavos, Pentos, Myr, Lys, Tyrosh, Volantis, Qohor, Norvos and Lorath), the Ghiscari cities of Meereen, Yunkai and Astapor, Qarth, Vaes Dothrak and distant ports such as Asshai and Yin. All of them are in this list alongside the larger towns.

What is the difference between a city and a town in Westeros?

In the books a city is a large walled settlement with its own charter and watch; everything else, including busy ports like Duskendale, Maidenpool and Saltpans, counts as a town. That is why the generator includes market towns, fishing ports and castle towns as well as the handful of true cities.

How do I make an original name sound like it belongs in Westeros?

Use one or two plain English words: a landscape or trade feature (salt, ford, barrow, fair, sept, pool, bridge) joined to a settlement ending (-ton, -town, -market, -port, -wharf, -gate). Keep it unpretentious. For Essos, drop English entirely and use short Valyrian-style syllables, a Ghiscari double vowel, or the Dothraki Vaes prefix.

Can I use these names for a mod, roleplay server or fan fiction?

Yes. The original names are free to use anywhere. The canon cities and towns belong to the source material, so for a new settlement in a shared setting pick one of the invented entries or relocate a canon name's style to a fresh region.
