Fantasy Names

[shwabadi]

I came across this pretty great resource for names. It's got long lists of both given and family names starting from some of the earliest recorded names through to the early 17th century.
For my story the 13th century English names are particularly useful, but it has names from all over Europe and Asia.

Hope you find it useful!

This one is my go-to for names. It's the Medieval Names Archive, maintained by the Academy of Saint Gabriel. It's a great resource.

I use Scrivener's built in name builder. It's pretty cool.

If you want to get a little more fantasy-oriented, I love this site:
Fantasy name generators. Names for all your fantasy characters.

It has generators for a bunch of different fantasy flavors.
