A knight is known by name and honour both. This knight name generator pairs noble given names with knightly titles and orders, fit for champions, oathbound guardians, and errant blades. Generate a batch and dub your hero.
How this generator works
Knightly naming draws on medieval chivalry: strong, noble given names (Aldric, Percival, Gareth) followed by an honour or order (of the Silver Rose, the Steadfast, Dragonbane). The title carries the character's reputation and allegiance in a single phrase. Keep the given name dignified and the title evocative, and the knight will feel bound to a code and a cause before the story even begins.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good knight name?
A noble given name paired with a title or order, like Sir Aldric of the Silver Rose. The honour carries the character's reputation and allegiance.
Should a knight have a title?
It adds depth. An order signals allegiance, while a deed-based epithet like Dragonbane hints at a backstory in a single word.
Are these good for D&D paladins?
Yes. The chivalric names and honours suit paladins and their oaths, as well as knightly fighters and cavaliers.
