How the New World Name Generator works
A New World name generator for characters and companies. New World is set on a cursed island discovered by colonial-era settlers, explorers and soldiers, so character names suit the age of sail. Generate settler and explorer names, or company names in the style of the three faction types.
How the New World name generator works
Character names borrow from the colonial era. Settler names use English Puritan given names and sturdy surnames, Prudence Thorne or Josiah Winslow. Explorer names use Spanish and Portuguese names from the age of discovery, Catalina Navarro. Companies, the game's name for guilds, join one of three factions, and each faction type has a voice. Military companies sound like a regiment, the Iron Brigade or the Legion of the Last Fort. Secretive companies sound like a hidden society, the Veiled Cabal or the Circle of the Silver Key. Zealous companies sound holy and fierce, the Radiant Crusade or the Order of the Pure Flame.
Faction types, not trademarks
The generator describes each faction by its style rather than its official name, so every company name is original. Match the type to your faction.

FAQ
What is a company in New World?
A company is New World's word for a guild. Companies join a faction, fight over territory and run the towns they hold, so a strong company name is seen on the map by every player in the region.
Why do the names sound colonial?
New World is set in an age of sail, when ships from the Old World reached a strange island. Puritan, Spanish and Portuguese names fit the settlers and explorers of that time, and make your character feel part of the story.
How do I pick a faction style?
Match the style to how your company plays. Military names suit organised PvP groups, secretive names suit tight crews that like intrigue, and zealous names suit groups who enjoy a righteous, crusading tone in their role-play.
Can I use these names elsewhere?
Yes. The names are original and fit any colonial fantasy, age-of-sail or haunted island setting, from other survival MMOs to tabletop campaigns and historical fantasy stories with settlers, soldiers and secret societies.
