I am personally researching every name and possible option I can do for my name inside the Book of Remembrance but if anyone else is looking for ideas then I thought I’d offer all the possible Ancient Language words that you could encorporate inside your name from across the dictionary pages of the books.
These are the words we get from the first book:
Ancient Language
Aiedeail – the morning star
Arget – silver
Argetlam – silver hand (lore here, this is what Eragon’s hand is called because of his gedwey ignasisa that he received the first time he touched Saphira. Might be a good name for a dragonrider combination)
Breoal – family, house
Brisingr – Fire
Edoc’sil – unconquerable
Garjzla – light
Gedwey ignasisa – shining palm
Iet – my (informal)
Pomnuria – my (formal)
Seithr – witch
Shur’tugal – dragonrider
Wydra – fate
Yawe – a bond of trust
I’ve taken out any I don’t think are relevant to names and also phrases.
Dwarf Language
Ingietum – metal workers, smiths. (Could be used as a surname!)
Knurl – stone, rock.
Knurla – dwarf
Otho – faith
Sheilven – cowards
Urgal Language
Ushnark – father
You could combine a mixture of these – here are a few of the ideas I’m considering!
- your real name + mums name and then daughter. Eg: Eleanor Fernsdaughter.
- A title + your name. Eg: Dragonrider Anna Carthright.
- Just your name (good for bragging rights)
- Trying to Eragonify your name yourself! While only the dragonrider tier will actually get their names as alaegaeian names if you really want to delve deep into the linguistics of the realm then why not make your name something closer to a Spine dweller?
