Viking Kingdom Name Generator

Before unification Norway alone held petty kingdoms such as Vestfold, Rogaland, Hörðaland, Sogn, Hálogaland, Raumaríki and Hringaríki. Danes ruled Jótland, Selund and Skáney, the Svear held Svealand and Uppland, and Norse rulers abroad held the Kingdom of Jórvík (York), the Kingdom of Dublin, the Kingdom of the Isles, the Earldom of Orkney and Garðaríki in the east.

Use a real Old Norse land word as the ending: -ríki (realm), -land, -mörk (march or forest), -fold (plain), -heimr (home), -garðr (stronghold) or -vík (bay). Pair it with a single concrete first element such as a tribe, animal, colour, or founder. Two-part names like Úlfríki, Járnmörk or Ketilsfjord follow the same logic as Hálogaland and Raumaríki.

A jarl was a noble ruling a region either independently or on behalf of a king; the Jarls of Hlaðir (Lade) and the Jarls of Orkney were often kings in all but title. In fiction a jarldom works well for a powerful province or an island earldom, while a kingdom implies a crowned ruler with his own law and coinage.

Yes. The historical names are public knowledge and the invented ones are free to use. For games that cannot display Old Norse characters, choose the English-spelled forms such as Kingdom of Skjoldmark or the Jarldom of Skarvik, which were written to read cleanly in any font.
