Hi everyone,

I’m currently worldbuilding a fantasy novel and struggling to create authentic-sounding royal family names. I want something that feels majestic, historically grounded, yet unique enough to stand out.

I’ve brainstormed a few ideas, but I’m not sure if they convey the right tone. Specifically, I’m looking for suggestions for fantasy royal last names that evoke power, legacy, and intrigue. Does anyone have favorite examples from books, games, or original creations?

Any tips on patterns, syllables, or cultural influences that make royal names feel believable would be greatly appreciated!
