How to Come Up with Princess Names
When you're looking to write a royal character, start by thinking of the origin or traits you want their name to evoke. Here are a few tips to help you get started.
1. Get inspiration from foreign languages.
Think French (Aveline), Italian (Fiorella), or Japanese (Kiyomi) for beautiful, inspiring options. Try to look up translations for words that capture exactly what you want your princess to be, whether that's a wise woman, a courageous warrior, a beautiful star, a graceful dancer. Then, find a language you love (like Latin, Norse, or an ancient language) and see if the final translation makes a lovely name!
2. Try a portmanteau.
A portmanteau is when you take two words and combine their sounds or meanings. For instance, "Lightsinger" or "Windrose" or "Duskbringer." Which two words really speak to the essence of your character and what you want people to think about them?
3. Look to history for inspiration.
From Anastasia to Diana to Kate Middleton, there's no shortage of great names to take inspiration from in real life. Pick a country of origin that interests you and look through the names of their powerful female rulers and monarchs to get ideas of what to name your next princess.
