Character Naming

As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.

Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.

Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

Byron

Meaning: (At the Cattle Sheds, From a surname which was originally from a place name meaning "place of the cow sheds". This was the surname of the romantic poet Lord Byron (1788-1824), the writer of 'Don Juan' and many other works. Also possibly (through French origins), from De Biron, the town of Biron in the province of Guienne, France and meaning "From the cottage". The English definitions seem most consistent and include the habitational name from Byram in West Yorkshire or Byrom in Lancashire, both named with Old English for “at the cattle sheds”. The name Byron is also said to be from the Hebrew, meaning "bold", or a variation of the name [Brian], meaning "strong one". Literary: the variant form Biron was the name of a character in Shakespeare's "Love's Labours Lost".)

Origin: (Old English)

Pronunciation: (BIE-rən, BIY-rən, BYE-run, BYE-ron)

Recently while watching Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman I heard that Sully Dr. Quinns fiance his first name was Byron. This is a great name and sounds strong and handsome.
