Fantasy Baby Names

31 Fantasy names with meanings, U.S. popularity, and audio pronunciation on every page.

Fantasy baby names draw from epic sagas, mythic realms, and beloved book and screen worlds — names that sound like they belong to heroes, sorceresses, and star-crossed royalty. They feel legendary yet still wearable, with a built-in story.

What makes a name feel “fantasy”?

Look for invented or reimagined names built on real linguistic roots — Arwen and Thorin feel ancient, while Khaleesi and Caspian borrow the sound of distant lands and noble bloodlines. The common thread is drama — a name that hints at destiny.

Fantasy girl names

Girl names in this world lean lyrical and otherworldly, like Elora, Lyanna and Tauriel. For more bite, Cirilla and Aelin belong to warrior queens.

Fantasy boy names

Boy names tend to sound weathered and heroic, like Azriel, Alaric and Kaladin, while Rohan and Vaelin carry a quieter, steady nobility.

Names inspired by beloved sagas

Some names lean into their source material’s mythology — Rhaenys and Moiraine carry the weight of dynasties, while Narya and Aerith feel gentler and elemental.

Every name below links to its own page with a sourced meaning, U.S. popularity, famous bearers, and a clear audio pronunciation — so you can hear it before you choose.
