Medieval Names

[skip.knox]

I can't believe I haven't posted this one before. It's my go-to for names. It's mainly useful if you want European-ish sounding names, but dig around a bit in the corners and you'll find lots of variety.

Medieval Names Archive

The best thing to me about this collection is that all names are derived from historical documents. With citations.

Thank you skip
I found this a while ago and then promptly lost the link.

I am using this:
Lucifer's Onomastikon (Dictionary of Names)
Mostly because I'm actually using names from antiquity. But it actually has a list of names for different periods (Ancient, Medieval), different areas (all six inhabited continents) and even some ancient and medieval ethnic groups.

Those are some very useful links.

That's an excellent resource. I wish it cited sources, but that's an academician's niggle. What I do like is that the site provides more information than just the names. I've added this one to my resources bookmarks.
