This is my master post of Middle Ages names from England! I got inspired because I needed to research late medieval-era British names for a project. This might also be helpful if you’re a high fantasy novel in the English medieval vein.

My sources include battle histories, subsidy rolls, and A Dictionary of English Surnames. I also included just a few names from the King Arthur legends. They’re mostly 14th century names, but they would’ve been in use long before and long after that century.

This used to be one big medieval name list, but it was too hard for people to navigate, so I’ve finally gotten around to breaking it up.

Here’s the list of Medieval Male Names.

Here’s the list of Medieval Female Names.

Here’s the list of Medieval Last Names.

I hope these serve as a good reference for medieval names! Bookmark this post or pin it on Pinterest so you can always find it. Happy writing!
