16,000 Medieval Names

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Having quality NPC names is a hallmark of a good DM, but coming up with realistic sounding names on the fly can be difficult.  I am embarrassed to admit how many times my group has run into “Bob the Bartender”, or “Gary the Guard”!  Name generators sometimes provide helpful names, but often the names they provide don’t sound like real names.  Years of running games has taught me that there is no better name than the real thing!

This list of names is drawn from historical records.  Most are European in origin with a smattering of other cultures.

People have requested a columned version. I was trying to keep the page count low in case people wanted to print it out. If people still want a printable version, I can always list everything twice, once in columns and another in wall of text (for printing). Let me know.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
