Generate High Valyrian names with the authentic Targaryen sound: ae-heavy given names for men and women, dragonlord surnames like Belaerys and Qoherys, full names and epithets. Built for Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon fans, fanfic writers and tabletop campaigns set in Westeros or Essos.

About Valyrian names

Valyrian names in A Song of Ice and Fire follow a recognisable recipe. The core is the "ae" diphthong, usually in the first syllable: Aegon, Daemon, Rhaenyra, Jaehaerys, Baela. Masculine names tend to end in -on, -or, -ar, -ys or -mond (Aemon, Baelor, Rhaegar, Viserys, Vaemond), while feminine names lean on -a, -ys, -elle and -yra (Rhaena, Daenys, Maegelle, Rhaenyra). George R. R. Martin also likes the Rh-, Vh- and Qh- spellings and a touch of Y where an I would do, which is why Qoherys looks more Valyrian than Coheris.

Surnames mark the old dragonlord families. In Westeros that means Targaryen, Velaryon and Celtigar, plus the extinct Valyrian houses Belaerys, Qoherys and Vhassar. In Essos the blood of Old Valyria survives in Volantene families like Maegyr, Paenymion, Qhaedar and Vaelaros, and in Lysene names such as Rogare. This generator mixes canon names from the books and House of the Dragon with original names that follow the same phonology, so you can build a dragonseed, a Volantene triarch or a long-lost branch of the Freehold.

Use single names for Targaryen-style characters, surnames when you need a new house, and full names or epithets (Aegon the Conqueror, Jaenara the Far-Flyer) for lore entries and family trees.

How to choose Valyrian names

  • Keep the ae in the first stressed syllable and do not double up: Daenerys works, Daenaerys is a mouthful Martin would never write.
  • For an original Targaryen branch, reuse a canon root (Aeg-, Rhae-, Vis-, Jaeh-) with a new ending so the name feels related but not copied.
  • Valyrian surnames end in -yen, -yon, -ys, -ar or -yr; stick to one of those if you invent a house so it sits beside Velaryon and Celtigar without sticking out.
  • Essosi Valyrians (Volantis, Lys) can take softer, Italianate given names like Talisa or Lysandro paired with a Valyrian surname; that contrast is canon and adds flavour.
  • Reserve epithets for royalty and dragonriders; a minor dragonseed with a grand title reads like fanfic, while a plain two-part name reads like the books.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a name sound High Valyrian?

The ae vowel pair (Aegon, Rhaenys), endings like -ys, -on, -ar and -yra, and ornamental spellings with Rh, Vh, Qh and Y. Names are usually two or three syllables with the stress on the first. Martin built Targaryen names this way and the High Valyrian language created for the show follows the same sound rules.

Which Valyrian last names are canon?

Targaryen, Velaryon and Celtigar are the Valyrian houses of Westeros. Belaerys, Qoherys and Vhassar were dragonlord families that died in the Doom or shortly after. Volantene families of Valyrian blood include Maegyr, Paenymion, Qhaedar and Vaelaros, and the Rogares of Lys claim the same heritage. Blackfyre is a Targaryen cadet branch rather than an old Valyrian name.

Can I use these names for a House of the Dragon OC?

Yes. The list is a mix of canon names from the books and show and original names built on the same patterns, so you can pick a name that fits a Targaryen cousin, a Velaryon bastard or a dragonseed from Dragonstone without reusing an existing character.

Are Valyrian names gendered?

Mostly. Names ending in -a, -ya, -elle, -essa and -yra are feminine (Visenya, Rhaella, Maegelle); names ending in -on, -or, -ar, -mond and most -ys names are masculine (Aemon, Baelor, Viserys). A few, like Rhaenys and Daenys, break the rule, so the -ys ending is the safest choice for a unisex name.
