About wheel of time names

Robert Jordan built the Wheel of Time so that you can often tell where a character comes from just by hearing their name. Two Rivers folk have short, English-sounding given names and surnames that frequently carry the al' prefix, a worn-down remnant of the old Manetheren nobility: Rand al'Thor, Egwene al'Vere, Nynaeve al'Meara, alongside plain surnames like Cauthon, Aybara, Luhhan and Congar. Andoran and Cairhienin nobles use longer, softer names, sometimes with a house name attached (Elayne Trakand, Dobraine Taborwin, Colavaere Saighan), and Cairhienin often add Damodred or another Great House.

Aes Sedai are known by given name plus surname among themselves, and by given name and the honorific Sedai to everyone else, so Moiraine Damodred is Moiraine Sedai. Their names range widely because they come from every land: Cadsuane Melaidhrin, Pevara Tazanovni, Yukiri Haruna, Siuan Sanche. Aiel names are short and hard, with no surnames at all (Rhuarc, Gaul, Amys, Sorilea, Couladin), and identity comes from clan, sept and society instead. Seanchan nobles carry long, formal names such as Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag or Egeanin Tamarath, and Borderlanders use clipped, sometimes vaguely Japanese-sounding names like Ingtar Shinowa, Uno Nomesta and Easar Togita. The Forsaken took new names in the Old Tongue that mean something (Lanfear, Daughter of the Night; Demandred; Semirhage), and Age of Legends names run to three parts, as with Lews Therin Telamon.

The list above mixes canon characters with original names built on the same rules, so you can pull a Two Rivers farmer, a Red Ajah sister or an Aiel Maiden that would sit comfortably in Jordan's world.

Tips for choosing a name

  • Pick the culture first, then the name: al' surnames and short given names for the Two Rivers, single hard names for Aiel, long formal strings for Seanchan, and clipped Borderlander names for Shienar and Kandor.
  • Give an Aes Sedai a homeland; a Domani sister (Leane Sharif) sounds different from a Cairhienin one (Moiraine Damodred) or one from Arafel (Kiruna Nachiman).
  • Use the honorific correctly in dialogue: it is Moiraine Sedai or Moiraine Damodred, never Moiraine Damodred Sedai, and Warders are named plainly (Lan, not Lan Gaidin, unless being formal).
  • For a Forsaken-style villain, invent an Old Tongue name that sounds like an epithet, two or three syllables with apostrophes used sparingly (Be'lal, Osan'gar).
  • Avoid stacking apostrophes and hyphens; Jordan uses them for a reason (al', a', sur, do, si) and each marks a specific origin, so a name like Ka'ra'th'el reads as noise rather than WoT.

Frequently asked questions

What does the al' in Wheel of Time names like al'Thor mean?

In the Two Rivers, al' is a fossilised honorific from Manetheren meaning roughly 'son of' or 'of the house of', once reserved for nobles and now used by ordinary families like al'Thor, al'Vere and al'Meara. In Aiel names it does not appear at all; the Aiel use only a single given name plus clan and sept.

How are Aes Sedai named?

An Aes Sedai keeps the given name and surname she was born with, and gains the honorific Sedai after her given name once raised to the shawl (Siuan Sedai, Cadsuane Sedai). Surnames are only used formally or among the sisters themselves, and Ajah is never part of the name.

Where do the Forsaken names come from?

The Forsaken abandoned their Age of Legends names and took new ones in the Old Tongue that others gave them or that they chose as boasts. Mierin Eronaile became Lanfear (Daughter of the Night), Elan Morin Tedronai became Ishamael (Betrayer of Hope), and later Moridin (Death).

Can I use these names for a Wheel of Time roleplay or fanfiction character?

Yes. The original names in the list follow Jordan's conventions and are free to use, while canon names like Rand al'Thor or Moiraine belong to existing characters and should be reserved for those characters in fan works.
