Next to picking out the perfect names for your characters, the most difficult (and fun) task is picking out the perfect names for the places in your story. Like with real life, the name of a place is based on its history. Each place tells a story, and the shortest way to tell that story is through its name.
Many fantasy stories take place in a time when there was minimal technology. That’s why most places have names based on the events that took place there, the types of animals commonly found near that city, or based on the weather in the area. For instance, a city called Last Battle might bring to mind a city that ended a battle. A city names Frostfangs bring about the image of a cold, harsh city where the frost is everywhere. And in cases of cities that have near unpronounceable names, it makes you think of a mysterious realm.
Below are 200 names of fantasy places you can choose from for your story.
