About valheim world names
When you create a new Valheim world you get two fields: a world name and an optional seed. The seed controls the map; the name is what you and your friends see in the world list for the next few hundred hours, and it becomes the server name if you host. The game itself is built on Old Norse: Valheim means home of the slain, the bosses are Eikthyr, the Elder, Bonemass, Moder, Yagluth, the Queen and Fader, and the ravens are Hugin and Munin straight from Odin's shoulders. A world name that fits sounds like it came from the same Edda.
The most authentic option is an Old Norse place name. Viking settlements were named for what was there and who founded them: vik (bay), fjord, holm (small island), fell (mountain), holt (wood), nes (headland), heim (home), stad (place), by (farm). Hrafnvik is raven bay, Kaldfjord is cold fjord, Eirikstad is Eirik's place. The Eddas supply ready-made realms and halls too, such as Breidablik, Himinbjorg, Folkvangr, Glitnir and Idavoll, along with the nine worlds themselves.
Many players name worlds after what happened there: the boss that killed them, the biome they are stuck in, or the boat the serpent ate. That is why this list runs from solemn names like Einherjar's Rest to server names like Wolves Ate My Boat.
Tips for choosing a name
- If you play on a dedicated server, keep the world name short and free of apostrophes and special characters; some hosting panels and launch scripts choke on them.
- Name the world for its progress stage (Frostheim for a mountain push, Mistmark for a Mistlands run) so friends can tell your worlds apart in the list.
- Old Norse compounds read best when the first half is a noun or adjective and the second half is a place word: Ulf + heim, Jarn + vik, Myrk + holm.
- A seed and a world name are separate: you can keep a beloved seed string and give each new run its own name, which helps when you rotate worlds for events or resets.
- You cannot rename a world in-game, so pick the name before the first night; editing the .fwl file works but is fiddly and easy to get wrong.
Frequently asked questions
Can I rename my Valheim world after creating it?
Not through the menu. The world name is stored in the .fwl file next to the .db file in your worlds_local folder. Renaming requires editing that file with a community tool or hex editor and renaming both files to match, so it is far easier to choose well up front.
Is the world name the same as the seed?
No. The seed is a short string that generates the map layout; the world name is just a label. You can leave the seed blank for a random map and still give the world any name you like, or reuse a famous seed under a brand new name.
Are these real Old Norse place names?
Many are attested: Breidablik, Himinbjorg, Thrymheim and Folkvangr come from the Eddas, and names like Reykjanes, Hlidarendi, Brattahlid and Vinland are real Viking Age places. The compound names such as Hrafnvik and Myrkholm are new but built from genuine Old Norse roots.
Do these work as Valheim server names too?
Yes. The world name is what appears in the community server browser if you host from the game, and dedicated servers take a separate name that you can set to the same thing. Shorter names without punctuation are safest for server configs.
