Slavic Town Name Generator

The most common are -ov/-ów/-iv and -ovo/-owo (possessive, from a founder's name), -ice/-ichi/-ovtsi (the people of someone), -sk/-sko and -no (very old, often from a river or the land), -grad/-gorod/-hrad (fortified town), -ac/-vac/-ica (Serbian and Croatian), -ets/-ovets (Bulgarian and Russian) and -polje/-pole (field). Most towns in this list carry one of them.

Yes. Most invented entries combine a real root (dub, lipa, kamen, zlato, bor) with a real ending, so they sound like they could sit on any map from Poland to Bulgaria. Well-known real towns such as Dubrovnik or Kutná Hora are included for reference; avoid those for a fictional kingdom and favor the smaller or invented ones.

Polish uses ł, ś, ż, ą and ę, and favors -ów, -ice and -owo (Tarnów, Kielce, Wejherowo). Czech and Slovak use háčeks and the -ice, -ov and 'nad' river phrases (Pardubice, Jihlava, Ústí nad Labem). Russian and Ukrainian names are transliterated from Cyrillic with -sk, -ovo, -grad and -ets (Smolensk, Ivanovo, Kamianets). Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian lean on -ac, -vac, -ica and -ik (Kragujevac, Ribnica, Šibenik).

Color and age words were the easiest way to distinguish settlements. Beo/Bela/Biała/Bely (white) often described stone walls or chalky ground (Belgrade, Białogard, Belgorod, Bila Tserkva); Crna/Czarna/Chorny (black) marked dark soil or forest; Novi/Nowy/Nové and Stari/Stary/Staré separated a daughter town from its parent (Novi Sad, Stari Grad, Nowy Targ, Staré Město).
