Gondor Name Generator

The men of Gondor are descended from Númenor, and Tolkien gave them names in the two Elvish tongues their ancestors learned from the Eldar. Ordinary Gondorians of the Third Age, from stewards to soldiers, bear Sindarin names: Boromir, Faramir, Denethor, Ecthelion, Beregond, Damrod, Mablung, and Ioreth. These are typically two or three syllables and built from Sindarin roots such as bor (steadfast), mir (jewel), thor (eagle), and gond (stone). Names of the ruling stewards were often taken from the heroes of the First Age, which is why the list of stewards includes a Húrin, a Túrin, a Beren, and a Barahir.

The kings of Gondor, from Elendil and Isildur down to Eärnur, used the loftier Quenya of Númenor: Meneldil, Atanatar, Hyarmendacil, Telumehtar, Ondoher. Quenya names run longer, favor open vowels, and often carry an epithet of victory such as Rómendacil (East-victor) or Umbardacil (Umbar-victor). Aragorn, restoring the kingship, took the Quenya throne-name Elessar Telcontar.

Region and rank matter too. Men from Dol Amroth like Imrahil, Elphir, and Erchirion carry a trace of Elvish blood in their names, and Tolkien often identified lesser lords by their fief: Forlong of Lossarnach, Hirluin of Pinnath Gelin, Angbor of Lamedon.
