About Kingdom Names
A kingdom's name echoes through history, appearing on maps, in treaties, and on the lips of its people. The best kingdom names evoke imagery of the land itself - its mountains and rivers, its people and rulers, its glory and its secrets. Whether you're building a sprawling empire or a small principality, the name shapes how players and readers perceive it.
Naming Conventions
Kingdom names often combine evocative prefixes (suggesting qualities or geography) with endings that imply realm, land, or domain. Consider what makes your kingdom distinctive: Is it known for iron mines? Endless forests? A legendary founder?

Tips for Using These Names
