Question: Name for fantasy novel continent!.!.!.!?
I am writing a fantasy novel and it is primarily set on a continent of three kingdoms that are magically walled off from the rest of the world!. I am trying to name the continent but am struggling a bit!. What do you think of the name Azuran for it!? Can you suggest any other good original names!?
I will choose a best answer!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Azuran sounds perfectly fine!.

But how about using words from a non-English language that have some meaning, if Azuran does not fit that bill!.

Perennis Santerris "perennis" is a Latin (if I remember correctly) rooted word meaning "forever" or "eternal" or "perennial"

San is Chinese for the number 3!.

Terris, from the Latin for "earth" or "land"

So your continent's name would mean "Eternal 3 Lands', or "the 3 Eternal Lands!. And it "rhymes"Www@QuestionHome@Com

Azuran seems something from Narnia (Azlan the Lion)!. But that's a good start!.

Anything with 'A' at the start would probably be a major kingdom!. Like Aethereia, Aleon, and the most used: Arcadia!.

I like giving names to my creations and sometimes it takes me an hour and a thick dictionary to find a good one!. But I favor those that has a+e as it connotes something fantastical!. Here's some:

Daegon
Galea
Caelifer
Karelion
Lonarea
Monosa

Do you want the names to be somewhat linked or completely different!? Well here's a couple:
Pazmad
Darmar
Hanram
Rahamr
Ratnar
Leterb
Bucknad
Gearrad
Isenmar
They're not all that good!.!.!. but Azuran is good!. Azure is a color!.!.!. you could base the other continents on colors too!.
Just mix a few things together and you should find something!
Good luck on your novel!Www@QuestionHome@Com
