What Is a Warrior?

How to Name a Warrior Character?
A strong warrior name joins a first name built from battle words with an epithet that shows the warrior's fame. Real warriors earned epithets for deeds or looks. Examples include Eric Bloodaxe and Harald Fairhair, 2 Viking kings of Norway. The table below shows how each of the 3 origins builds a first name.
| Origin | Language | Name Parts | Example Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Norse | Old Norse | Arn (eagle), Sig (victory), -bjorn (bear), -hild (battle) | Arnbjorn Ironjaw | Eagle bear, the iron jaw |
| Anglo-Saxon | Old English | Ethel (noble), Cyne (royal), -wulf (wolf), -burh (fortress) | Cyneburh Goldshield | Royal fortress, the gold shield |
| Greek | Ancient Greek | Kleo (glory), Niko (victory), -machos (fighter), -nike (victory) | Kleomachos Stormcaller | Glorious fighter, the storm caller |
4 Quick Tips for Naming a Warrior
- Build the first name from 2 battle words. Brand (sword) and -ulf (wolf) form Brandulf, which means sword wolf.
- Let the epithet tell a story. An epithet like Ironjaw or Wolfhide hints at a deed or a scar.
- Match the origin to the setting. Norse names suit Viking sagas. Greek names suit Spartan-style epics.
- Give female warriors the same weight. Names like Gunnveig (war strength) and Kleomache (glorious fighter) sound as fierce as any male name.
