Easterling naming conventions
As inhabitants of Middle-earth’s east, the Easterlings remain enshrouded in mystery, their language akin to a windswept, forgotten script chiseled into battle-worn steppes. With Tolkien revealing scarce few Easterling names, we’re handed the tantalising raw clay of creative opportunity, moulding it using the author’s existing linguistic architecture.
The few Easterling names gifted by Tolkien (e.g. Ulfang, Lorgan) resonate with harshness and guttural strength, akin to Eastern or Nordic tongues, a sound we seek to emulate and engender in this Name Generator. Alongside this, we insert diacritics (e.g. û, ó) to evoke an exotic, archaic and intrigue-laced touch.
Easterling name ideas
Remember, the forboding lands of Rhûn breed no Elronds or Galadriels. Instead, their roll call barks with intimidating, warlike names, often graced by the accents of Central Asia or Northern Europe. Here are some examples harvested from our Easterling Name Generator:
- Khagan
- Urugan
- Togrul
- Urgath
- Zorgar
- Borgakh
- Varuk
- Grîmjar
- Thurbaz
- Mordach
- Xorgath
- Varkun
- Dorgaz
- Baruk
- Rûmog
In striking the perfect balance of foreign and harsh phonetics, historians and scribes from Gondor or Rohan, would likely arch an eyebrow and nod in approval. These names ring out with the seductive aura of distant Zhûn and the Easterling tribes.
