How to Choose a Perfect Name for a Dragon Age Character?
A perfect Dragon Age name fits your character's race and homeland in Thedas. Each nation in Thedas borrows from a real culture. Ferelden names sound Old English and Gaelic, Orlesian names sound French, Tevinter names sound Latin, and Antivan names sound Italian and Spanish. Dalish elves use words from Elvhen, the old elven tongue, such as vhenan (heart) and shiral (journey). Each game also gives the hero a fixed surname by origin. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Inquisitor is a Trevelyan, Lavellan, Cadash, or Adaar, as listed on the Dragon Age Wiki. The table below shows the naming pattern of each background, with an example name.
| Race | Background | Naming Pattern | Example Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Human | Ferelden | Old English or Gaelic name and a place surname | Leofric Thornley | Dear ruler, of the thorn clearing |
| Human | Orlais | French name and a "de" surname | Armand de Clairval | Soldier, of the clear valley |
| Human | Tevinter | Latin name and a magister family name | Severina Vesperan | Stern, of the evening star house |
| Human | Antiva | Italian or Spanish name and a merchant family name | Renzo Delvento | Laurel, of the wind |
| Elf | Dalish | Elvhen root and a clan name | Lathari Sulahnel | Love, of the song clan |
| Elf | City Elf | Elvhen-sounding name and the home alienage | Falion of the Kirkwall Alienage | Friend, raised in the Kirkwall alienage |
| Dwarf | Noble Caste | Norse-sounding name and a noble house | Jarnok Steinvald | Iron, of the noble house of the stone ruler |
| Dwarf | Casteless | Norse-sounding name and a Dust Town family | Silfhild Askar | Silver, of the ash family |
| Qunari | Vashoth | Qunlat root and a trade-tongue epithet | Kostrak Stormhorn | Peace, the storm horn |
4 Quick Tips for Naming Your Dragon Age Character
- Start with the homeland. A Fereldan suits Leofric Thornley, and an Orlesian suits Armand de Clairval.
- Use Elvhen for Dalish elves. Roots like fen (wolf), lath (love), and shiral (journey) give a Dalish name its meaning.
- Match the dwarf to the caste. Nobles carry a house name, such as Steinvald. Casteless dwarves from Dust Town carry a family name, such as Askar.
- Skip canon names. Names like Alistair, Merrill, and Varric belong to companions, so the generator leaves them out.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are good Dragon Age character names?
Good Dragon Age names fit a race and a homeland in Thedas. Examples include Leofric Thornley for a Fereldan human, Lathari Sulahnel for a Dalish elf, and Jarnok Steinvald for a noble dwarf. Each name in this generator also has a meaning.
What are the Inquisitor last names in Dragon Age: Inquisition?
The Inquisitor surname depends on race. A human is a Trevelyan, an elf is a Lavellan, a dwarf is a Cadash, and a Qunari is an Adaar. The player picks only the first name.
What are the Warden last names in Dragon Age: Origins?
The Warden surname depends on the origin story. A human noble is a Cousland, a human mage is an Amell, and an elven mage is a Surana. A Dalish elf is a Mahariel, a city elf is a Tabris, a dwarf noble is an Aeducan, and a dwarf commoner is a Brosca.
How do Dalish elf names work?
Dalish elves carry a given name and the name of their clan, such as Lavellan. Many Dalish words come from Elvhen, such as vhenan (heart), lath (love), and falon (friend). This generator builds Dalish names from Elvhen roots, so Fenelle comes from fen (wolf).
Do Qunari have names?
Qunari who follow the Qun go by a role or title, such as Sten and Arishok, instead of a personal name. Vashoth, the Qunari born outside the Qun, choose their own names, as the Inquisitor Adaar does.
