How to Choose a Perfect Name for an Elden Ring Character?
A perfect Elden Ring name pairs a short first name with an epithet that fits your character's starting class. Elden Ring names its characters by title and deed, as in Blaidd the Half-Wolf and Iron Fist Alexander. Each of the 10 starting classes has its own story. A Vagabond is an exiled knight, an Astrologer reads fate in the stars, and a Samurai comes from the distant Land of Reeds. The Elden Ring character creator sets the first name, and the Clouded Mirror Stand in Roundtable Hold changes it later. The table below shows the epithet style of each class, with an example name.
| Starting Class | Class Story | Epithet Style | Example Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vagabond | A knight exiled from their homeland | Knightly, from exile and armor | Branos the Exiled Knight | Raven, the knight sent into exile |
| Warrior | A twinblade fighter from a nomadic tribe | Swift, from the desert tribe | Lunelle of the Nomad Tribe | Moon, of the nomad tribe |
| Hero | A descendant of a badlands chieftain | Bold, from the badlands | Arthen the Stalwart | Bear, the stalwart one |
| Bandit | A bandit who strikes at weak points | Sly, from ambush and theft | Vespia the Sly | Dusk, the sly one |
| Astrologer | A scholar who reads fate in the stars | Scholarly, from sorcery and stars | Celynith the Star Reader | Holly, who reads fate in the stars |
| Prophet | A seer cast out for grim prophecies | Ominous, from prophecy | Cineros the Doomsayer | Ash, who foretells doom |
| Samurai | A fighter from the Land of Reeds | Japanese name and a blade epithet | Kaede the Wandering Blade | Maple, the wandering blade |
| Prisoner | A prisoner bound in an iron mask | Grim, from the mask and the sentence | Hrimia the Iron Mask | Frost, in the iron mask |
| Confessor | A church spy skilled in covert work | Secret, from the church | Ulfius the Hooded | Wolf, the hooded one |
| Wretch | A sorry sight, and a blank slate | Humble, from nothing | Ferrius the Nameless | Iron, the nameless one |
4 Quick Tips for Naming Your Elden Ring Character
- Add an epithet. Elden Ring characters carry titles, so a name like Branos the Exiled Knight fits the world.
- Match the class. An Astrologer suits the Star Reader, and a Wretch suits the Nameless.
- Give a Samurai a Japanese name. Samurai come from the Land of Reeds, so names like Kaede and Masaru fit.
- Skip canon names. Names like Ranni, Blaidd, and Malenia belong to main characters, so the generator leaves them out.
