200 13th-Century Names

I've made a thing and thought others might be able to get some use out of it. If you just want the d100 tables, scroll down to the cut and skip my rambling as to what this list is. Short version, it's a d100 table of male names and a d100 table of female names, taken from 13th-century English records and trimmed to minimize names that were used within the last 140-odd years.

While working on my Dungeon23 project (updates collected here, by the way), I was looking for names for my NPCs, and stumbled upon the Henry III Fine Rolls as a source. This is a digitization and indexing of records from 13th-century England that include a lot of personal names. It contains references to a database they made that sorts these names by popularity and other factors, but the database apparently hasn't been maintained, because it's gone. For a while, I was just picking names from articles about that database, but I started to worry I was going to run out (due to my tendency to name any corpses of dead adventurers in the dungeon just in case someone likes to cast speak with dead). So I went to their index of names, which is great if you're looking for a specific person, but not useful if you just want a list of personal names, and decided to use their data to make a couple d100 tables for myself.

I went through the index and typed all the names into a spreadsheet. Then, to give the list a more medieval feel, I sorted them by how often they appeared in the Social Security Administration's data on baby names. (I know that's a bit US-centric, but to my knowledge there is no global database to use for this purpose.) Then I removed all the ones that appeared most often on the baby names list -- I figured if you were rolling on a table of medieval names, you'd be a bit disappointed if you got "John" or "Mary". (Incidentally, the following names appear both in the Fine Rolls and on the SSA's list of the top 10 (male and female, so 20 actually) baby names for 2021: Emma, Oliver, James, Ava, William, Isabella, and Henry.) I used the data going back to 1880 for thoroughness.

In the case of male names, this meant I was able to remove all the names that appeared in the SSA records. So the names in that table were (probably) not used at all in the U.S. between 1880 and 2021. (The SSA apparently doesn't keep records on names that appear less than five times in a given year, so it's possible there were a few of these guys around, but not many.) This is because, as you may expect from medieval records, there were more than twice as many male names in the records as female names, so there were more left over after cutting the ones that appeared in the SSA data. So twenty of the female names on the table were also used in the US since 1880, but not often.

I did not make any effort to sort names by etymology, so the list includes French, Welsh, Scandinavian, &c. names, not just names that have an English origin. Multicultural, for "pretty much just one quadrant of Europe" values of "multicultural". I don't think that should break anyone's immersion or anything; medieval people traveled around more than people tend to think.

Speaking of breaking immersion, I also cut the following names off of the list because I thought they might be distracting to your players if you randomly assigned them to an NPC -- or to your audience if you use this to name characters for a writing project. I'm not going to say there's something wrong with these names, just that they're the sort of thing you would want to only deploy on purpose:

From the male names:

Cok

Flourecoc

Hammecok

Marmaduke

Odo

Vivian

From the female names:

Cuntessa

Cuntus

Licorice

Also, to note, I've kept them separated into 100 male names and 100 female names because the source data was pretty firmly entrenched in the gender binary. Obviously you can do what you want with your characters' genders, though, and if you want to completely ignore the division, feel free to combine them into a single list and roll a d20+d10 for a d200 table.

Anyway, without further ado, the tables (or, well, lists numbered 1-100) are below the cut.

Jane Austen Charted #17

Female Names across 6 Novels and Lady Susan

No female name occurs in all 6 novels! The names that cross the most novels are Sarah/Sally (not Emma), Anne/Anna (Not MP), and Elizabeth (not NA). We are told Sally can be a nickname for Sarah in Northanger Abbey. Sarah/Sally is commonly used for servants, though in NA it is the name of Catherine’s younger sister.

The two most common female names are Anne/Anna and Mary, tied at 9 occurrences. Next is Elizabeth (Betty, Betsey, Eliza) with 8 occurrences, Sarah/Sally with 7, and then Fanny/Frances with 5.

All female names that occur at least twice:

Unique female names:

Alice, Annamaria, Bridget, Clara, Emily, Flora, Georgiana, Hannah, Janet, Jemima, Julia, Lydia, Marianne, Martha, Nanny (Nancy?)*, Patty, Rebecca, Selina, and Frederica.

Major Characters with unique names:

Lydia Bennet, Marianne Dashwood, and Frederica Vernon

Eleanor Tilney and Elinor Dashwood are unique if you count spelling differences.

*Nanny is what Mrs. Norris calls her servant, likely a housekeeper

Source and as ever many thanks to Project Gutenberg

Edit: Missed S&S for Anne, though my total was right.

need a norwegian name for your wip?

norwegian characters in english books are not that common, in my experience, but still there's some names i love that i really want to share.

for this i have chosen to lean on the newest baby name trend in norway; finding the oldest most norwegian name in your family tree and naming your kid that. this means more common/popular names like ola, ida, magnus, sunniva, etc will not be listed (though i can make a post like that too, if that's something you want to see).

a lot of these have an origin that traces back to the viking age and i tried to avoid names that came after christianity. you'll see it esp in names that have for example bjørn (from old norse for bear), thor/tor (like the god), -hild (from old norse for battle), -mund (from old norse for protection, i'm pretty sure).

i tried to keep to names that either are very rare (less than 10 people share the first name) or that are old and coming back - you have no idea how many church records i just went through to find some good old ones. hope some of these could come to use for some! feel free to message, send an ask, or leave a reply if you have questions about spelling, pronunciations, or anything else.

so, some examples that i found will be below;

traditionally girl's names; ragna, gunhild, dagny, frøydis, ylva, solfrid, snefrid, aagot/ågot, thorbjørg, borgny, odlaug, vigdis, valborg, gunlaug, jensine, gunnvor, halldis, undis, rigmor, ellinor, torunn, elida, embla, signe, gørhild, hege, norlaug, thordis, åshild, solveig

traditionally boys names; hjalmar, njål, brynje, jostein, preben, kyrre, sigvart, gunleif, torjus, oddve, asløv, sverre, vigmund, bjarnar, reidulf, knut, gerhardt, ingeir, guttorm, thormund, ørjan, ådne, aslak, birk, vilje, asbjørn, halvard, ståle, amund

if anyone are interest i can make a more in depth list with the meanings of these names, as i imagine finding the correct definitions with english sources might be difficult for some names. just let me know!

(sidenote, i say "norwegian", but some of these can be used in other scandi countries as well, either with the same spelling or something similar to it.)

scandis, feel free to add your favourite really old people names in replies!<3
