About Redwall names

Brian Jacques gave every species in Mossflower its own naming voice, so you can hear who a character is before you see them. Abbey mice and the peaceful woodlanders carry soft, homely names: Matthias, Cornflower, Columbine, Tansy, Mariel. Moles get earthy, clipped names like Dinny, Gurrbowl and Drunn Tunneller, and the senior mole is always Foremole. Otters go by watery surnames (Streambattle, Galedeep, Wavedog, Shellhound) under a Skipper, and shrews follow a Log-a-Log. Hares of the Long Patrol are gloriously overwritten: Tamello De Fformelo Tussock, Beau Fethringsol Cosfortingham, Dorothea Duckfontein Dillworthy, usually shortened to Tammo, Beau and Dotti. Badger lords and ladies bear a deed or an epithet, such as Boar the Fighter, Sunflash the Mace, Cregga Rose Eyes, Russano the Wise.

Vermin sound the opposite: hard consonants, hisses and growls. Cluny the Scourge, Slagar the Cruel, Ferahgo the Assassin, Ungatt Trunn, Gabool the Wild, Vilu Daskar. Searats and corsairs get salty one-word names like Greypatch, Saltar, Romsca and Badredd; ferrets, stoats and weasels get names with claws in them. The titles Abbot, Abbess, Brother, Sister, Friar and Cellarhog mark Redwall's own, and young ones are Dibbuns. This list mixes canon characters with original names that follow each species' pattern, for OCs, fan fiction or tabletop woodlanders.

How to choose Redwall names

  • Decide the species first, then name to match: a mouse named Gruven Zann or a ferret named Cornflower will confuse any Redwall reader. Soft vowels and plant names for woodlanders, harsh clusters for vermin.
  • For hares, build a ridiculous full name from two or three invented surnames and a rank (Major, Lieutenant, Lancejack, Galloper), then give them a short nickname everyone actually uses.
  • Badger lords and ladies take a title after a defining deed: the Mace, the Fighter, Rose Eyes, Bowstripe. Leave the title off until the character has earned it in your story.
  • Abbey roles are names too. Brother, Sister, Friar, Recorder, Cellarhog, Gatekeeper and Infirmary Sister say what a character does all day, and pair well with plain first names like Hoben, Alkanet or Quillwort.
  • Moles can speak in molespeech, so keep their names short and chewy (Burr, Burrgley, Diggum, Gullub) so they still sound right in dialogue like 'Burr aye, zurr'.

Frequently asked questions

What are the most famous Redwall character names?

Matthias, Martin the Warrior, Mattimeo, Mariel, Gonff the Mousethief, Basil Stag Hare, Constance the badger, Cluny the Scourge, Slagar the Cruel, Ferahgo the Assassin, Tsarmina Greeneyes, Lord Brocktree, Sunflash the Mace and Cregga Rose Eyes. All of them are in this list alongside hundreds of supporting characters and original names.

How do hare names work in Redwall?

Long Patrol hares have absurdly long aristocratic names (Tamello De Fformelo Tussock, Bescarum Lepuswold Whippscut) and go by a short nickname. They also carry military ranks such as Major, Brigadier, Sergeant, Lancejack and Galloper, and pepper their speech with 'wot wot'. To invent one, stack two or three plummy surnames and add a rank.

How do I name a vermin villain in the Redwall style?

Use hard sounds and a menacing epithet: Cluny the Scourge, Ungatt Trunn, Vilu Daskar, Gulo the Savage, Raga Bol. Rats and stoats take one-word names (Redtooth, Cheesethief, Badredd); warlords get 'the' plus a deed or a trait; foxes and seers get sly, sibilant names like Sela, Fortunata and Sicariss.

Can I use these names for an original character or fan fiction?

Yes. Canon names are fine for stories set in Mossflower, and the original names in the list are built on the same species patterns, so they will not clash with anything in the books. For a tabletop game with animal heroes, the Abbey titles and Long Patrol ranks also make good NPC names.
