Ultimate List Of Garlean Names And Garlean Naming Conventions

The Garlean Empire, or the Garlemald, constitutes a major world power in 'Final Fantasy XIV' (FFXIV).

The Garlean Empire is situated to the northeast of Eorzea. It is one of the major antagonist groups in 'Final Fantasy XIV', seeking to add the realm to its annexed territories from 15 years ago.

A character in the Garlean Empire or Garlemald is given a Garlean name that is structured as a given first name followed by Garlean middle names (which denote Garlean ranks), as well as last names that are representative of their family. When a character holds multiple Garlean titles, the title that represents the higher rank gets precedence.

Garlean middle names that are representative of titles can either be changed or removed too, if required.

If a Garlean is a member of the royalty rank they may have middle names such as Zos, meaning "emperor", Yea, meaning "royal successor", or Wir, meaning "a royal family member who can't claim the throne".

Non-citizens, such as Peregrinus or people from the annexed territories often take the middle name Aan, with citizens taking either Cen or Bas, depending on their profession. Van, Tol, Sas, Rem, Quo, Pyr and Oen are used to signify a character of military rank.

Specialists take either Nan, Mal, Lux, Kir or Jen and public officials have Iyl, Het, Goe, Fae, Eir or Dus as their middle names.
