Valyrian Last Name Generator
Dragonlord and Old Blood family names
Generate Valyrian last names for dragonlords, the Old Blood of Volantis and Lysene merchant princes: book families like Targaryen, Velaryon and Maegyr as anchors, plus original High Valyrian surnames such as Vhalaryen, Qhoraxes, Rhaedarion and Maerath, and Common Tongue cadet names like Ashfyre.
About Valyrian last names
Valyrian family names are scarce in the books, so a surname page is built mostly from sound. George R. R. Martin's Freehold was ruled by forty dragonlord families, yet the books name almost none of them beyond Targaryen and Belaerys. Velaryon and Celtigar, the Valyrian houses sworn to the Targaryens in Westeros, were lesser families without dragons. Volantis adds the Old Blood behind the Black Walls (Maegyr, Vhassar, Paenymion, Staegone), and Lys adds banking and merchant families such as Rogare and Ormollen. Those names, and a few more from the books, sit in this list as style anchors. The rest are original surnames in the same phonology.
The ae diphthong and y as a vowel do most of the work, breathy spellings such as Rh, Vh and Qh make a name look old, and the endings repeat: -aryen and -aryon for the great houses of the Freehold, -ys and -erys, the -ar and -yr of Volantis, -ion, -ros, and the -are and -ollen of Lys. A small group borrows roots from the High Valyrian language of the HBO series, such as perzys (fire), zaldrizes (dragon) and embar (sea), giving Perzymion, Zaldrizar and Embaryon.
Last comes the cadet branch: Daemon Blackfyre named his house after a sword, in the Common Tongue, so Ashfyre, Tideflame and Glasscandle suit bastard lines and exiles.
How to choose Valyrian last names
- Balance the full name. A long given name in the Jaehaerys mold sits best with a two-syllable surname like Vaelyr, Maerath or Qormyr, while a short given name can carry Rhaedarion or Gaeltheryon.
- Let the ending place the family. Surnames in -ar and -yr read as Old Blood of Volantis, -are and -ollen as Lys, and -aryen and -aryon as old houses of the Freehold, so pick one ending for a family and keep it for every cousin.
- Keep the book names for characters who belong to those houses. For your own dragonlord line choose an original such as Vhalaryen or Qhoraxes, so the house can have a history you control.
- Say it aloud before you commit. Most readers say ae like the ay in day and y like a short i. If a surname trips you up twice, take a short one such as Vhaen, Raeth or Saeth.
- For a bastard branch, a sellsword captain or an exile, use a Common Tongue cadet name like Seawyrm, Smokeborn or Duskfyre instead of a High Valyrian one.
Frequently asked questions
Which Valyrian last names appear in the books?
Only a handful. Targaryen and Belaerys are named dragonlord families, Velaryon and Celtigar are the Valyrian houses of the narrow sea, Qoherys held Harrenhal, Maegyr, Vhassar and Paenymion are Old Blood of Volantis, and Rogare is a Lysene banking family. These and a few other book families, such as Staegone, Ormollen, Saan and Blackfyre, sit in the list as anchors, and the rest of the names were written for this page.
What makes a surname sound High Valyrian?
The ae diphthong, y as a vowel, and a small set of endings: -aryen, -aryon, -ys, -erys, -ar, -yr, -ion and -ros. Spellings with an h after the first consonant, as in Vhassar or Qhaedar, add age. Names on this page such as Rhaevalis, Tymaerys and Daelgyr follow those rules.
How is a Valyrian full name put together?
Given name first, family name second, with no particle between them: Jaenara Belaerys, Malaquo Maegyr, Lysandro Rogare. The word House in front of the surname is the Westerosi way of talking about a family, not part of the name itself.
Can I use these surnames for a House of the Dragon or tabletop character?
Yes. The original names are written for fan fiction, roleplay and homebrew campaigns, and they pair with any Valyrian given name. Try Aelinys or Vaeloran for a courtier, Qhoraxes or Syrathor for a dragonrider, and Blackwyrm or Saltflame for a cadet branch.
