85 Wizard Names To Conjure Up the Most Magical Fantasy Character

Why is it so hard to name a character? Your fantasy story is coming along magically. You know where your character is from, and what they look and sound like, but you're just plain stuck when it comes to naming him or her.

Villian names seem easier to generate, as are "good guy" names. But more than any other genre, fantasy characters, especially witches and wizards, oftentimes are exotic or exaggerated in some way. Luckily, we've got 85 cool wizard names for males and females to give you plenty of ideas!

By developing a strong, fun and supernatural character throughout your story, you can pack just as much of a punch with a short sorcerer name like Finn as you can with a more fantastical name like Mellifluous.

So, take a deep breath and keep reading. You are about to find the wizard or warlock's name (or last name) that will help you put the finishing touches on your fantasy story.
