Place Name Generators
Towns, cities and countries for fantasy worlds and maps, plus café names.
Real place names are built from parts that once meant something: -ford was a river crossing, -wick a settlement, -dale a valley. Fantasy names feel real when they follow the same logic, so a mining town sounds like a mining town.
Start with the Fantasy Town Name Generator, which sorts names by what the town does, then zoom out with cities and countries. Naming a real place? The Café Name Generator is here too.
