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.

Aeronwen

Meaning: (Fair Blessed Berries, Combination of Aeron “Berry” and the suffix Gwen “White, Fair, Blessed”. Also possibly derives from the name of a shadowy Celtic Goddess of Battle and Slaughter, known in a Latin form as Agrona.)

Origin: (Welsh)

Pronunciation: (ayR-AANWehN, eye-RON-wen, eye-RAWN-win, eye-ROAN-win)

Gender: Female

This name I saw when looking at Aeronwy *see on list of posts*. So this name is similar in many ways to Aeronwy. The meanings are beautiful and the name itself is very lovely. However the name derives from the name of a shadowy Celtic Goddess of Battle and Slaughter, known in a Latin form as Agrona, so it’s a bit dark in that aspect but the other meanings make me like this name more than the little dark aspect of it.

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.
