Create Your Own World Name

Coming up with unique fantasy world names (or realm names) can be very difficult. It’s so hard not to copy name ideas that are already out there. But we got a couple of really cool techniques to help you come up with some unique world name ideas that will amaze your readers:

1. Adjective technique
2. World names based on nouns
3. Combining Nouns for ultra uniqueness

Adjective Technique

The first technique is super easy. Start by making a list of adjectives that are relevant to your fantasy novel. Some examples might include:

• Magic
• Dream
• Broken
• Lonely
• Ethereal
• And so on…

Now make a list of synonyms for the word, ‘world’. Synonyms are words you can use instead of a particular word. In this case, we are looking for synonyms for the word, ‘world’. Some examples may include:

• Lands
• Planet
• Realm
• Vales
• Province
• Kingdom
• And so on…

You could also include loose or close synonyms like woods, ocean or lake in this list. Now the final step is to combine your list of adjectives with your world synonyms list. And here is what you might get:

• The Ancient Lands
• The Dream Empire
• The Mist Universe
• The Golden Barrows
• The Ethereal Isles
• And so on…

World Names Based On Nouns

The second technique is just as easy as the first one. This time start with your world synonyms list. Here is a sample of our list:

• Nexus
• Sanctuary
• Lands
• Country
• Kingdom
• Reach
• And so on…

Next, make a separate list of nouns related to your fantasy novel. Here is our example list of fantasy nouns:

• Princesses
• Frogs
• Elves
• Angels
• Locust
• And so on…

Finally combine the two lists to create your own world name. Here is what you might get:

• Realm of the Warriors
• Empire of the Locust
• Yonder of the Elves
• Kingdom of the Kings
• Barrows of the Witches
• And so on…

Combining Nouns for ultra uniqueness

Now this is the golden technique for creating your own fantasy world names. It may seem complicated at first, but remember practice makes perfect. Start by making a list of nouns, similar to the previous technique. Here is our list of nouns:

• Princesses
• Frogs
• Elves
• Angels
• Locust
• And so on…

Next bring in your list of world synonyms that you created in the previous techniques. Here is our sample list:

• Nexus
• Sanctuary
• Lands
• Country
• Kingdom
• Reach
• And so on…

Now comes the hard part. Pick a random noun and take the first three characters from it. For example for the noun, Angels – I will take the letters, ‘Ang’. 

One more time, pick another random noun and take the first three characters from this noun. For example with the noun, Dragons, I get ‘Dra’.

Next, pick a random world synonym from your list of world synonyms. And take the last three characters from this word. For example with, ‘Region’, we get ‘ion’. 

Finally combine all those letters together to get your random fantasy world name. In our case, we get the following world name, Angdraion. Not bad, eh? And here are some more we created:

• Warwitalm
• Frokinout
• Devbotows
• Wareldsle
• Golredout

And to really put the icing on the cake, you can combine the previous two techniques with this last one to come up with one mighty cool world name idea. Just take a look at these examples:

• Warwitalm, Realm of the Warriors
• Elvgiader, Yonder of the Elves
• Anglosdom, Kingdom of the Angels
• Loswarire, Empire of the Lost
• Witfroley, Valley of the Witches

Try these techniques out yourself and let us know what world names you can come up with!
