Fantasy Place Names List from Web Serial Fiction

Ranging from classical realms like Imperium, Tellus, and Existentia to grounded landmarks like Starfall Mountain, Hohenfels, and Wayrest, the entries reflect naming habits across active web serials. Because these locations belong to existing stories, the collection is meant for studying genre patterns rather than copying names as-is.

How to use

How to Use This List

  • You could lean on familiar endings like -ia, -on, or -um—similar to Existentia or Imperium—when introducing broad empires or continents in your opening 15 chapters.
  • You could pair concise single-word town names near the 8.0-character median, such as Wayrest, with occasional two-part landmarks like Starfall Mountain to create contrast on the map.
  • If your early chapters introduce several regions close together, you could vary initial letters outside frequent choices like A, S, and E so readers can distinguish place names quickly.
  • Instead of reusing published names like Hohenfels or Jiangshi directly, consider combining root sounds and endings from this list to build original locations tailored to your setting.
Method

How We Got the Data

Names are drawn from 238 books in Royal Road within the Maliang Writer library (captured 2026-10-31/2026-11-09). Recurring proper nouns in the first 15 chapters of each book were classified in context by a model as person, place, or other, verified by script against the source text, and ranked by frequency. In a spot check of 570 entries, 2.1% were nicknames, titles or non-name terms; those were removed, and others may remain. Names belong to their original works and are shown here to illustrate genre naming conventions; avoid reusing distinctive protagonist names directly.
