What Is This Chronicles Of Narnia Names Generator?
The Chronicles of Narnia Name Generator creates original names in the style of C.S. Lewis's beloved series — names for human children who enter Narnia, Narnian talking animals, Telmarines, Calormenes, and the other peoples of Narnia's rich world.
Every name is original. The generator draws on Lewis's naming patterns — the English children's names (Peter, Edmund, Lucy, Eustace, Jill), the classical and medieval Narnian names (Caspian, Rilian, Tirian), the Arabic-influenced Calormene names (Aravis, Emeth, Rabadash), and the nature-based Narnian animal names — to produce names that feel genuinely Narnian.

Calormene names have an Arabic or Persian inflection: Aravis, Emeth, Rabadash, Lasaraleen, Ahoshta Tarkaan.

History & Background
The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven fantasy novels by C.S. Lewis, published between 1950 (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) and 1956 (The Last Battle). Lewis created Narnia as a Christian allegorical world in which Asian the lion represents Christ, and the journey through a magical wardrobe represents spiritual transformation. The series has sold over 100 million copies and been adapted for stage, film (the BBC series 1988–1990, the Walden Media films 2005–2010), and audio drama. Lewis drew his naming conventions from the same sources he used for his scholarship — medieval English, classical mythology, and Middle Eastern languages — with each people's names reflecting their culture and moral standing in the story.
Narnian Pronunciation Guide
- Aslan — 'AZ-lan' (Turkish for 'lion' — Lewis chose this deliberately)

- Aravis — 'AH-rah-vis' (stress on first syllable)
- Reepicheep — 'REE-pih-cheep' (the sound a mouse makes — intentional)
- Puddleglum — 'PUD-ul-glum' (portmanteau of puddle + glum — his personality)
- Tashbaan — 'TASH-baan' (capital of Calormen — exotic, imposing)
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of names does this Chronicles of Narnia Name Generator create?
The generator creates original names in Lewis's Narnian naming style — English children's names, Narnian royal names with a classical feel, Calormene names with an Arabic or Persian inflection, and names for Narnian non-human peoples.
How did C.S. Lewis create Narnian names?
Lewis was a medieval literature scholar and used his classical knowledge: English names for the relatable human children, Latinised names for Narnian royals (Caspian echoes Roman-era place names), Arabic and Persian patterns for the Calormenes (Lewis modelled them loosely on pre-Islamic Middle Eastern culture), and descriptive or comic names for Narnian creatures (Puddleglum, Reepicheep).
Who are the Telmarines?
The Telmarines are the people who conquered Narnia after the Golden Age of the Pevensies. By the time of Prince Caspian, they have ruled Narnia for many generations and tried to erase Narnia's talking animal history. Telmarine names tend to sound more medieval European than classical: Caspian, Miraz, Glozelle, Sopespian.
Can I use generated names for Narnia fan fiction?
Yes. Generated names are original, so you are free to use them. Fan fiction based on C.S. Lewis's works is generally welcomed by the C.S. Lewis estate for non-commercial creative purposes.
