How the Crusader Kings Name Generator works
A Crusader Kings name generator for medieval characters, dynasties and titles by culture. Crusader Kings is a grand strategy game about ruling a medieval dynasty for generations, and every culture has its own naming style. Pick a culture and generate a ruler, a dynasty or a realm title for your next campaign or custom character.
How the Crusader Kings name generator works
Each culture uses real medieval given names from the period and an original dynasty or place surname in the right style. English names use Old English forms, Leofric of Wetherby. French nobles take de and a castle name, Enguerrand de Montclair. Norse names use patronymics, Ketil Halvardsson. German nobles use von, Konrad von Rabenau. Irish names use Ó, Cathal Ó Faoláin. Iberian names use old Castilian and Leonese forms, Urraca de Torrealba. Byzantine names use Greek family names, Theodora Argyropoulos. Arabic names use ibn and a clan with Banu. Persian names use old Iranian forms. The Title mode builds realm titles.
Dynasties are original
Every dynasty and place here is invented, so your house will not clash with the real historical dynasties already in the game.

FAQ
How do I make a custom dynasty in Crusader Kings?
Pick a culture, then choose a dynasty name that fits it, like a castle name for French nobles or a clan for Arabic rulers. The House lines in each culture mode give you ready-made dynasty names that sound right for the region.
Are the given names historical?
Yes. The given names are real medieval names from each culture, such as Eadric, Enguerrand and Nikephoros, so they fit the period. The dynasty names and places are invented, so you get authentic-sounding rulers without copying a real family.
What is the Title mode for?
The Title mode names realms, such as the Duchy of Ashmere or the Petty Kingdom of Corrach. Use it when you create a custom title, form a new realm or need names for the lands in a homebrew medieval map.
Can I use these names outside Crusader Kings?
Yes. The names work in any medieval strategy game, historical fiction, alternate history story or tabletop campaign set in the Middle Ages, wherever you need rulers, noble houses and realms from different cultures across Europe and the Middle East.
