Witcher Name Generator

Names in Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher world are a deliberate patchwork, and getting them right means knowing which corner of the Continent a character comes from. Witchers themselves are usually known by a single name plus their homeland: Geralt of Rivia, Letho of Gulet, Coën of Poviss, Ivo of Belhaven. Kaer Morhen names (Vesemir, Eskel, Lambert) are short and Germanic-sounding, while the Northern Kingdoms mix medieval Western names (Foltest, Radovid, Vernon Roche) with plainly Polish peasant names like Jaskier, Zoltan and Wojtek.

Sorceresses tend toward elegant Franco-Latin names with a place attached: Yennefer of Vengerberg, Triss Merigold, Sheala de Tancarville, Margarita Laux-Antille. Nilfgaard uses the particles var and aep between given name and house name (Emhyr var Emreis, Cahir aep Ceallach), and its officers sound faintly Dutch: Menno Coehoorn, Peter Evertsen, Vattier de Rideaux. Skellige leans Norse and Gaelic with clan names such as an Craite, Tuirseach and Brokvar. Elves speak Elder Speech, so their names carry Welsh and Irish shapes: Iorveth, Filavandrel aén Fidháil, Ithlinne Aegli aep Aevenien.

The list above pairs canon characters with new names built the same way, so a custom witcher, mage or Nilfgaardian officer will fit the lore of the books, the CD Projekt Red games and the Netflix series.
