How to Pick a Good League of Legends Name
Understanding Runeterra Naming Conventions
Each region of Runeterra has developed unique naming traditions reflecting its culture. Demacia favors noble, European-style names. Noxus uses harsh, powerful sounds. Ionia incorporates Eastern influences. The Freljord echoes Norse traditions. Shurima draws from Egyptian and Middle Eastern inspirations. Bilgewater names sound appropriately piratical. Understanding these regional conventions helps create authentic-feeling characters.
Key Characteristics of Champion Names
Successful champion names share several qualities: they are distinctive enough to stand out among 160+ champions, pronounceable across multiple languages, thematically connected to the champion's identity, and memorable after hearing them once or twice. Most champion names are one to three syllables for easy callouts. The name should hint at the champion's nature without requiring explanation.
Choosing the Right Style
Consider your character's role when selecting naming style. Assassins often have sharp, quick-sounding names. Tanks might have heavier, more imposing names. Mages frequently have mystical or elemental names. Supports sometimes have gentler or more nurturing name sounds. ADCs vary widely but often have energetic names. Let the name suggest your character's playstyle.
Practical Considerations for Summoner Names
Summoner names must be unique on your server and comply with Riot's naming policies. Avoid using existing champion names directly. Consider how your name appears in the loading screen and scoreboard. Short names are often easier to remember and type. Check availability before becoming attached to a specific name. Creative spelling can help secure desired names that are otherwise taken.
Common League Naming Patterns
Champion names often use mythological references (Pantheon, Diana), descriptive words (Jinx, Blaze), invented names with meaningful sounds (Yasuo, Zyra), or titles with first names (Miss Fortune, Twisted Fate). Compound names work for more complex characters. Void creatures use apostrophes and alien sounds. Aspect hosts often receive new, celestial names upon ascension.
Making Your Final Choice
Test your League name by imagining it called out during a pentakill, typed in chat, and shown on the victory screen. The right name should feel powerful, distinctive, and fitting for a champion of Runeterra. If you can imagine the name being announced by a shoutcaster during a professional match, you have likely chosen well.
Key Considerations
- Names should be short, memorable, and easy to call out in games
- Match naming style to the Runeterra region of origin
- Connect the name's meaning to character abilities or themes
- Consider how the name sounds during gameplay callouts
- Different champion types follow distinct naming patterns
Famous Examples
Ahri
League of Legends
The Nine-Tailed Fox champion whose name derives from Korean mythology. Ahri's name is short, memorable, and exotic-sounding, perfectly fitting her character as a magical fox spirit from Ionia. Her name has become iconic in gaming, inspiring countless fan creations and demonstrating effective champion naming.
Yasuo
League of Legends
The Unforgiven samurai whose Japanese-inspired name means 'peaceful one,' creating ironic tension with his violent gameplay and tragic story. Yasuo demonstrates how champion names can carry deeper meaning that enriches the character's narrative beyond their combat abilities.
Jinx
League of Legends / Arcane
The Loose Cannon whose simple, evocative name perfectly captures her chaotic personality and role as Piltover's most wanted criminal.

Frequently Asked Questions
QWhat makes a good League of Legends name?
A good League of Legends name is memorable, pronounceable, and evocative of your character's theme or abilities. Champion names typically range from one to three syllables for easy callouts during gameplay. The best names connect to character identity, whether through mythological references, descriptive words, or invented sounds that feel right for a specific Runeterra region. Names should stand out among the existing roster while fitting the game's established aesthetic.
QHow do I choose the right champion-style name?
Consider which Runeterra region your character belongs to, as each has distinct naming conventions. Demacia favors noble European sounds, Noxus uses harsh aggressive names, Ionia incorporates Eastern influences, and the Void uses alien apostrophe-heavy constructions. Match your name's feel to your character's abilities and personality. Test the name by imagining it called out during a team fight or announced by a shoutcaster to ensure it sounds appropriately epic.
QCan I use these names as my summoner name?
Yes, the names generated by our tool can be used as summoner names, subject to availability on your server and Riot Games' naming policies. Check availability before becoming attached to a specific name. If your preferred name is taken, consider creative spelling variations or additions. Remember that summoner names can be changed, so you are not permanently locked into your first choice if you later find something better.
QWhat are common League of Legends naming patterns?
Champion names follow several patterns: mythological references (Pantheon, Diana, Morgana), simple descriptive words (Jinx, Blitz, Brand), invented names with meaningful sounds (Ahri, Zyra, Yasuo), and title-first combinations (Miss Fortune, Twisted Fate, Master Yi). Void creatures use apostrophes and alien phonetics. Darkin names share the double-a pattern. Aspects and celestial beings have grander, cosmic-sounding names. Understanding these patterns helps create authentic-feeling names.
QHow do different regions affect naming?
Runeterra regions have distinct naming traditions that reflect their cultures. Demacia uses noble, European-style names suggesting honor and light. Noxus favors harsh, powerful names reflecting their might-makes-right philosophy. Ionia incorporates East Asian linguistic influences for flowing, mystical names. The Freljord uses Norse-inspired names befitting their Viking-like culture. Shurima draws from Egyptian and Middle Eastern traditions. Bilgewater names sound appropriately roguish and nautical.
QWhere can I find inspiration for League names?
Study existing champion names and their regional origins to understand Riot's naming philosophy. Explore mythology from cultures that inspire different regions: Greek for Targon, Japanese for Ionia, Norse for Freljord. Consider your character's abilities and find words that evoke those themes. Look at how champion names connect to their lore and abilities. Fan communities, concept art, and the official universe website provide extensive inspiration for authentic Runeterra naming.
