Tips for Better Names
- World names should be memorable
- Consider the tone of your story
- World names get said in the first sentence of every pitch, so they need to be short, distinctive, and easy to spell.
- Invented single words work best here — "Aetheria", "Thalmyra", "Umbravost". Descriptive phrases suit realms and regions, not whole worlds.
- Check the name is not already a well-known setting or product before you build on it; a world name is the one you will be searchable by.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I name my fantasy world?
Consider the world's defining characteristics - is it ancient, magical, dark? The name should hint at the scope and nature of your setting.
Should a world name mean something in-world?
It can, but the meaning rarely reaches the reader. What reaches them is the sound, so prioritise a name that is memorable and spellable over one that translates neatly.
How is a world name different from a realm name?
A world contains realms. World names are usually single invented words; realm names can be descriptive phrases like "The Sundered Marches" because they describe a territory rather than a planet.
