100+ Fantasy Girl Names With Meanings For Your Characters
Gallery
There are a plethora of female girl names from the sci-fi and fantasy worlds to choose from for your strong and unique female character.
However, it is important to choose a fantasy name that matches the character of your daughter. On top of everything, the name has to be meaningful and unique.
If you are a fantasy lover, you might want to create your own fantasy name. There are many ways to create a fantasy name.
First, you need to go through some of the ancient languages like Old Norse or Ancient Greek to find the right name for your character.
If you want the name of a fantasy place, you can check the characteristic of the place and then use it as a prefix or a suffix against the name of an ancient town or city name.
For example, J.K. Rowling uses 'Hog' as a prefix in the Harry Potter novel, (hence, the name Hogwarts) and thus, she created the word Hogsmeade by attaching Hog with Meade. Portmanteau or smashing words together is another way to give a cool character name in your sci-fi and fantasy book series.
In many instances, a fantasy baby is given the name of characters from sci-fi and fantasy that the author deeply loved during their childhood. Such fantasy girl names derived from the sci-fi and fantasy worlds create an aura of mystery, wonder, and magic to the bearer.
This list of 100+ female names from the worlds of sci-fi and fantasy as well as myths and legends will help you in your quest to find the perfect female fantasy names for your character.
