About Our Names
Where do the names come from?
Our names are carefully curated from various sources including Tolkien-inspired linguistics, traditional fantasy literature, and established gaming conventions. Each name is selected for its authenticity and phonetic beauty.
Do the names have meanings?
Many of our names are inspired by elvish linguistic patterns that traditionally have meanings related to nature, light, beauty, and noble qualities. While we don't provide specific translations, the names follow authentic elvish phonetic structures.
How do you ensure name quality?
Every name in our database is manually reviewed for authenticity, pronunciation, and appropriateness. We focus on names that sound naturally elvish and avoid harsh or inappropriate combinations.
