Dictionary of Names

From Project Tamriel Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is an irregularly updated dictionary of Tamrielic names – both NPC names sorted by race and gender and a selection of placenames. It is intended as an inspirational resource for Tamriel Rebuilt and Project Tamriel use.

This guide was also known as Rats' Onomastikon, and all names are based on Rats' vision of the lore. User discretion is thus advised and comments are welcome.

Much like the original names in Morrowind, this guide uses plenty of real world historical names – Greek, Frankish, Roman, Old Norse, etc. – as an inspiration. However, the names have been made as non-obvious and non-jarring as possible. So, instead of Beowulf you’ll have Berrolf, instead of Reginald you’ll have Raginart, instead of Julius you’ll have Jalias, etc.

See also our general guide to names in the NPC and Creature Guidelines.

NPC Names

High Elves

Altmer names in Morrowind seem to be inspired by Tolkien’s Quenya names, but will occasionally have long vowels (Fiiriel, Taarie). Typical female suffixes are -nwe, -nya and -a; typical male suffixes are -rg and -o, but otherwise names are quite unisex.

Argonians

The names are inspired by existing Argonian names. The Jel names are more or less entirely unisex, perhaps unsurprisingly, with only a small handful of prefixes appearing to be gender-specific. With the vanilla sample size being very small, that might just be a coincidence.

Bretons

Names are inspired by early medieval Frankish, Gothic, Lombardic, Old English, Greek and Celtic names. Family names have some recurring elements that are in a “faux-Breton” language (e.g., martle – hammer in Aelfimartle, Orqamartle and Radamartle – meaning “Elf-Hammer”, “Orc-Hammer” and “Redguard-Hammer”, respectively). Some names contain references to Tamrielic deities and the Daedra (e.g., Phynian, Phynie – Phynaster; Magnakar, Magnalaine – Magnus).

Imperials

First names are inspired by old Roman, Byzantine and Greek names as well as Cyrodiilic saints’ and heroes’ names. Family names are likewise inspired by Latin and Greek. Some family names are derived from place names in Cyrodiil (e.g., Mir Corrup -> Corruvian), some from existing Cyrodiilic family names (Septim -> Septimulus), and some are inspired by genera of moths (Attacus, Pyralius).

Dark Elves

Dunmer names are strange because they’re not based on real world names in any way that would be obvious – Ashlanders excluded, as they are just Akkadian/Sumerian. Despite some suggestions that House Dunmer names would also be based on ancient Middle Eastern languages or Welsh or Khmer, that doesn’t seem to be the case. In short, there are no real world names or names in other fantasy IPs that one could use 1:1 as a reference for Dunmer names. Thankfully, the vanilla names provide more than enough information for us to come up with new names. Just using vanilla names is also more than okay – there are so many of them that there shouldn’t be a risk of overusing them (but do check!). For family names, especially, it might often be better to use an existing one; in which case one should check the House allegiances of the existing family members. Large families might have different branches belong to different Houses.

Note on Arena’s and Daggerfall’s Dunmer names: These are very different from Morrowind’s and should be disregarded entirely. They seem to emulate the old DnD-esque “evil-sounding” Dark Elves names, e.g. Azarath R’zamul, Lilithah Avalon, etc. These names don’t belong in Morrowind. Barenziah and Helseth are exceptions to this rule.

Note on the Dres names in the column below: This is just an old idea, and may or may not end up used. Namely, in prior conceptualization, Dres culture differs from the rest of the Dunmer culture (being pre-War of the First Council and all) their names were thought to also reflect that difference, similar to the way the Ashlander names reflect the Ashlander culture. So, in this compilation, the Dres family names have some distinctive features, such as occasional hyphens and double vowels and have subtle influences from the Dunmer names which appeared in Arena and Daggerfall. To think it gameplay-wise, it also adds to the variety.

First names are inspired by Old Norse and Old English names as well as other old Germanic languages. Elements of Nord deities and heroes are recurring in the names (e.g., Shor – Shorhildr, Shorri, Shorkatla; Vrage – Vragrim, Vraggyn; Kyne – Hartkyne, Sikkyne, Kynhildr).

Redguards

Names are inspired by existing names in Morrowind, contemporary Anglosphere names, East African languages, Song of Roland (weird huh), and names in the Redguard game. The surnames are inspired by existing names in Morrowind and Redguard.

Note: Vanilla and other TES III-adjacent TES titles use surnames exceedingly rarely. You should, too.

Wood Elves

Bosmer names seem to be inspired by Tolkien’s Sindarin names. Unlike Altmer names, Bosmer names typically do not end in a vowel (male names never do in vanilla Morrowind). They can also be shorter than Altmer names. Typical female suffixes are -eth, -wen, -e and -a ; typical male suffixes are -oth, orn, -or, and -os. The -in suffix is unisex. Suffixes -el and -iel are also unisex but much more common in female names.

Orcs

Names are inspired by existing Orc names, Sumerian language, and, obviously, by Tolkien. No family names as they are always just first names with the “gro” and “gra” prefixes. Much like Argonian names, Orc first names seem to be almost unisex. There are some suffixes which seem to be gender-specific (for example -rob and -fim  for female Orcs; ag and -arz for male Orcs). The vanilla name pool is so small, however, that this just might be a coincidence.

Placenames

Caves, grottos and Daedric ruin names are inspired by the Assyrian language as well as existing ones in the game. Dwemer ruin names are inspired by the existing ones and the Semitic alphabets. Nordic barrow names are inspired by old Germanic languages (Old Norse, Old English, Proto-Germanic) and by Proto-Finnic.
