Fantasy City Name Generator
Settlement names with a suffix that fits the city’s role, like -haven for ports or -delve for mining towns.
When to use it
Use this generator for settlements in fantasy worldbuilding — capitals, ports, mining towns and frontier outposts. The suffix fits the city’s role, so a port reads differently from a mining hold or a frontier watch. It suits the places on your map where characters arrive, trade, scheme or rest, and it pairs naturally with the Kingdom and Tavern generators when you are building out a whole region. The names are invented rather than historical, so they sit comfortably in secondary worlds.
How to use it
Choose a Type to match the settlement’s purpose — Capital gives -spire and -keep, Port gives -haven and -wharf, Mining gives -delve and -hollow, Frontier gives -stead and -watch. Leave it on Any for a mix of settlement types. Generate a batch of eight, then Generate again for more. The generator remembers what it has shown you this visit and prioritises unseen names, so you can keep clicking for fresh settlements without immediate repeats. Tap any name to copy it, or use Copy all for the whole batch.
