Generate New World character names that fit Aeternum's 17th-century Age of Exploration setting: period given names like Obadiah and Ysabeau, one-word compounds like Ironmire and Azothbound, Syndicate, Marauder and Covenant flavored handles, full names for roleplay, and company names that reference Everfall, Brimstone Sands and the Corrupted.

About New World names

New World drops every character onto Aeternum the same way: shipwrecked, in the early 1600s, from somewhere in the Old World. That framing is the easiest guide to a name that fits. Puritan and Stuart-era English names (Obadiah, Temperance, Hezekiah, Mercy), Spanish and Portuguese names from the age of the treasure fleets (Rodrigo, Catalina, Duarte, Beatriz), Dutch merchant names (Anneke, Joost, Hendrick) and French and Italian names (Etienne, Madeleine, Lucrezia, Cosimo) all read like people who could have stepped off a galleon at First Light. Matching the in-game NPCs, who include an Isabella, a Captain Thorpe and Grace O'Malley, they feel native rather than imported from a high-fantasy setting.

Character names in New World are one word, letters only, roughly 3 to 16 characters, and unique on your world set, so short real names vanish fast. The usual fix is a compound: a settlement, resource or enemy turned into a handle. Everfall, Windsward, Brimstone Sands, Reekwater, Azoth, Starmetal, Wyrdwood, the Corrupted, the Lost, the Angry Earth and the Ancients all give you pieces (Azothbound, Reekwatcher, Thornwake, Tendrilborn), and faction flavor works too: Syndicate names lean scholarly and alchemical, Marauder names blunt and martial, Covenant names bright and zealous.

The final block is company names, for anyone founding a guild: settlement references, expedition jokes, faction banners and war-and-territory puns.

How to choose New World names

Keep it to one word with letters only. Write your idea as a name first (Tobias Greywater), then decide which half you will actually claim (Greywater) or run them together (TobiasGreywater) if it fits under 16 characters.
Use a settlement or zone as a surname substitute. Everfallen, Windswarden or Mournvale instantly tells other players where you started without needing a space.
Pick faction flavor before you commit: violet, ink and alchemy words for Syndicate; iron, war and banner words for Marauders; oath, light and sanctum words for Covenant. Switching factions later is allowed, but a Covenant-sounding Marauder draws comments in chat.
For a company, reference what you actually do. A name with Expedition, Salvage or Trading Company attracts PvE crafters; Warband, Vanguard or Privateers signals wars and open-world PvP.
Say it out loud before you lock it in. War shot-callers and expedition leads read names aloud constantly, so three syllables with clean consonants beats anything that needs spelling.

Frequently asked questions

What are the character name rules in New World?

Names are a single word of letters only, with no spaces, numbers or symbols, roughly 3 to 16 characters long, and must be unique on your world set. Offensive names, staff impersonation and trademarked names are disallowed. Company names are longer and may include spaces. Check the character creator for any changes since the Aeternum relaunch.

What time period are New World names based on?

The game is set during the Age of Exploration, around the early 17th century, with colonists arriving from England, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, France and Italy. Names from that era, including Puritan virtue names like Mercy and Prudence and biblical names like Ezekiel and Jedediah, fit the setting best.

Can I change my character name in New World?

Yes, but only with a paid name change token from the in-game store, and the new name still has to be unique on your world set. It is cheaper to pick something you like at creation, or to reserve a name on a new character slot when a fresh world opens.

What is a company in New World?

A company is New World's version of a guild: a player group tied to one of the three factions that can own settlements, declare wars and manage territory. Company names appear over the map and in war declarations, so names that reference a settlement, a faction or a playstyle (Everfall Irregulars, Covenant of the Ash Bough, Cutlass Keys Privateers) are popular.
