What Is Fire Emblem?
Fire Emblem is a tactical role-playing game series by Intelligent Systems and Nintendo, known for grid battles and permanent unit death. The first game, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, came out in Japan in 1990 and starred Marth, the original lord of the series.
Fire Emblem names come from many real languages. Genealogy of the Holy War borrows Norse names, Three Houses uses Blaiddyd from the Welsh blaidd (wolf), and Fates gives Hoshido Japanese names.

4 Quick Tips for Naming a Fire Emblem Character
- Keep the name short. Unit names show in small boxes on the map, so 2 syllables, like Marth or Ike, read best.
- Match the language to the culture. A Hoshido samurai suits a Japanese name, and a Genealogy knight suits a Norse name.
- Add a title for a lord. Titles like Hero-King or Radiant Hero turn a name into a legend.
- Skip canon names. Names like Marth, Lucina, and Byleth belong to main characters, so the generator leaves them out.
