About Witcher Naming

The Continent borrows openly from real Europe, and each region takes a different source. Nilfgaard is Latinate and imperial, Skellige is Norse, Temeria and Redania are Slavic and Germanic. Get the region right and the name places itself.

Witchers themselves follow one convention above all others: a plain given name plus “of” a place. Most take that surname from a school or a city they never really came from.

By Region

  • Witcher — given name, then “of” somewhere
  • Nilfgaardian — long, Latinate, often with var or aep
  • Skelliger — Old Norse, patronymic
  • Sorceress — ornate, chosen rather than given

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a name length limit in The Witcher?▼
No. The Witcher games use fixed protagonists rather than a character creator, so there is no name field to fit. These names are for original characters, tabletop games and fan fiction.
Why are witcher names “X of Y”?▼
Witchers are taken as children and raised at a school, so most have no family name. The place attached is usually a school or a city, often one they have no real connection to.
What makes Nilfgaardian names distinct?▼
They are Latinate and deliberately imperial, frequently carrying particles like var or aep that mark lineage. They sound Roman next to the Slavic north, which is exactly the point.
Can I use these names commercially?▼
Yes. Everything generated here is original and free to use, including commercially. The setting itself belongs to its creators, but a name built in its style is yours.
