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.

Templa

Meaning: (Sanctuary, Temple, House of Worship)

Origin: (Latin)

Pronunciation: (templuh, temp-luh)

Gender: Female


I saw this name a few days ago and instantly loved it but it was mainly because of the meaning. I love names that mean Sanctuary or Haven *Haven is a name on my list of posts*. I think Templa is cuter than just Temple or Templar so I decided to add it.

    Technically, templa is plural (templum is the singular), so Templa means "temples."

    Still an interesting name :)

    I saw this name in a character naming book and it said Templa meant just Temple. Thanks for telling me about Templa being plural and meaning Temples.

    Thanks for commenting and sharing your thoughts.

I try to have the most accurate Meanings, Origin and Pronunciations for the names on this blog. It is best though to do research into the names you decide to use for your characters as there can be errors on my blog. Or meanings, origins, and pronunciations I have not seen thus not been able to add to this blog.
