Imperial Names and Naming Rules
Imperials are natives of the province of Cyrodiil. Their origins trace back to the Nedic peoples. Their naming traditions are inspired by real-world Ancient Roman (Latin), Italian, and partially Greek phonetic structures.
The naming structure is generally given as First Name (Praenomen) + Surname/Family Name (Nomen).
Phonetic Structure and Gender Suffixes
Gender distinction in names is made clear through suffixes at the end of words, as in Latin and Italian.
Male names usually end with the suffixes -us, -ius, -o, or -an. (e.g., Tullius, Lucan, Marcurio.)
Female names mostly end with the suffixes -a, -ia, -ina, or -ella. (e.g., Camilla, Vittoria, Gianna.)
Surnames generally end with -ius, -us, -is, or Italian-sounding letters like -i / -o. (e.g., Valerius, Vici, Lex.)
Nibenay and Colovia Influence on Names
Nibenay (Eastern Cyrodiil) is the center of commerce, art, magic, and diplomacy. Names of Imperials from here sound more Italian/Renaissance-style. The Colovia (Western Cyrodiil) region consists of people with a heavier military inclination. Since they are influenced by Nord culture, their names are shorter and harder.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Although ESO is set roughly a thousand years before Skyrim, the linguistic and naming roots of the Imperial race remain the same. For names suitable for this era, you can prefer more Latin-sounding names (ending in -us, -ius, -ia).
Yes, this is a fantastic roleplay detail. In Tamriel, individuals from different races who assimilated into Imperial culture, grew up in Cyrodiil, or reached high ranks in the Imperial Legion are known to take Imperial names or titles. For instance, you can keep your race's original first name and add a Latin surname next to it, or choose a fully Imperial name to show your character's loyalty to the Empire.
If you are playing an Imperial practicing dark arts or afflicted with vampirism, you should lean towards more gothic names with hard consonants (V, X, Z, C) and an aristocratic tone in our tool.
