Why Werewolf Names?
A werewolf is a human that has the ability to shape himself into a wolf, and they are occasionally called lycanthrope. The werewolf concept originated principally from European folklore during the medieval period.
From books, stories, animations, and movies, we have seen werewolves scare us and give us nightmares. And yet, over the years, they have evolved in their form and character to become gentler and better-natured (at least in some versions).
Writing an interesting werewolf story takes more than just having the story arc set up in your head. You should be able to give good names to your characters.
Naming your fictional character can mean all the difference in your story.
Depending on the age setting and the kind of story you are writing, choosing werewolf names is always a great idea for any story. Not only are werewolf names great for stories, but they are also great options for pets, game characters, paintings, events, and cars.
When choosing werewolf names, you also want to know the meaning of the names. Inspiring fear, awe, and mystery – here are over 150 werewolf names that can helpyour character spring to life and chill the spine!
