How to tweak names for your world (quick tips)

  • Change suffixes to match languages: -heim, -abad, -grad, -port, -ford, -var, -pur, -shire, -vale.

  • Blend two names for unique capitals (e.g., Harpswell + Waveholm → Harpholm).

  • Add regional markers (e.g., Old, New, Upper, Lower, East, West).

  • Inflect for culture: swap letters (v→bh, k→kh), remove vowels, or add diacritics sparingly.

Use freely for novels, TTRPGs, campaigns, or worldbuilding wikis. If you need biome mixes (e.g., coastal-jungle delta cities) or want town/village/outpost versions, say the word and I’ll spin up another list.
