About house of the dragon names
House of the Dragon names come from two traditions that George R. R. Martin keeps deliberately distinct. Valyrian names, used by the Targaryens and Velaryons, are built from a small set of syllables: Ae-, Vae-, Rhae-, Dae-, Jae-, Bae- up front, and -gon, -mond, -rys, -nys, -nyra, -ella, -aerys, -laena at the back. Rhaenyra, Aemond, Viserys, Laenor, Jacaerys, and Baela are all assembled this way, and Targaryens deliberately reuse ancestral names (Aegon, Rhaenys, Visenya) generation after generation. Bastards of Valyrian blood take regional surnames like Waters, Rivers, or Storm.
Everyone else in Westeros is named like an English medieval noble with a twist in spelling: Alicent, Otto, Criston, Harwin, Larys, Cregan, Borros, Jason. Surnames are the great houses (Hightower, Strong, Cole, Stark, Baratheon, Lannister, Tully), and the spelling quirks (Rickon for Richard, Alicent for Alison, Erryk for Eric) are what keep them from sounding modern. Dragons get either Valyrian names ending in -x or -s (Vhagar, Caraxes, Syrax, Vermax, Arrax) or English compounds describing their color and temper (Sunfyre, Dreamfyre, Moondancer, Sheepstealer, Silverwing).
For an original character, decide first whether they carry Valyrian blood. If so, build a name from the syllable set and give them a dragon; if not, pick a plausible medieval name and a house from the region they hail from.
Tips for choosing a name
- Build Valyrian names from canon fragments: combine a prefix like Ae-, Rhae-, Vae-, or Dae- with an ending such as -rys, -nyra, -mond, -laena, or -gon.
- For Targaryen family trees, reuse an ancestor's name (Aegon, Rhaenys, Baelon, Daemon) as the family did; repetition is authentic, not lazy.
- Give non-Valyrian characters an English medieval name with a spelling twist (Alicent, Criston, Cregan, Erryk) plus the surname of the house they belong to.
- Dragon names either end in -x or -s (Syrax, Vermax, Caraxes) or are English compounds about color and behavior (Sunfyre, Silverwing, Sheepstealer); avoid generic 'Shadowfire' style names.
- Valyrian bastards take regional surnames such as Waters (Crownlands), Rivers (Riverlands), Storm (Stormlands), or Sand (Dorne) rather than Targaryen.
Frequently asked questions
How are Targaryen names created?
They combine recurring Valyrian syllables: prefixes like Ae-, Rhae-, Vae-, Dae-, and Jae- with endings like -gon, -mond, -rys, -nys, -laena, and -nyra. Aegon, Rhaenyra, Viserys, and Jacaerys all follow this pattern, and names are recycled across generations.
Why do Velaryon children have Targaryen-style names?
House Velaryon is also of Old Valyrian descent, so names like Corlys, Laenor, Laena, Jacaerys, and Lucerys use the same Valyrian syllables while House Velaryon remains a separate family.
How are the dragons in House of the Dragon named?
Either with Valyrian names ending in -x or -s (Vhagar, Caraxes, Syrax, Meleys, Arrax) or with descriptive English names (Sunfyre, Dreamfyre, Moondancer, Sheepstealer, Grey Ghost, Cannibal), the latter often given by smallfolk.
Can I use these names for an OC or fan fiction?
The original names here are free to use in fan fiction, roleplay, and games. Canon character and dragon names belong to the books and show and are included for reference.
