Name Ideas & Naming Conventions

Argonian names often reflect their deep cultural heritage and connection to the mystical Hist trees. Here's a detailed breakdown of the two main naming conventions, Hyphenated Tamrielic Names and Jel Names:

Hyphenated Tamrielic Names

Hyphenated names are a common convention among Argonians, combining descriptive phrases or titles that reflect the character's traits, professions, or notable characteristics. These names often include elements of the common Tamrielic language, making them more accessible to non-Argonians while still retaining a distinct cultural flavor. The hyphenated structure allows for a rich and descriptive name that can tell a story or highlight specific attributes of the character.

What is an Argonian?

Argonians are a lizard-like race native to the province of Black Marsh in the Elder Scrolls series. They are known for their amphibious abilities, allowing them to breathe underwater and move swiftly through swamps. Argonians have a deep connection to the Hist trees, mystical flora that are believed to grant them souls and influence their culture and traditions.

Argonian society is built around the Hist, with each individual receiving their name during the Chukka-sei, a traditional Naming Day ceremony where they lick the sap of the Hist to gain their name. Their culture is rich with unique practices and beliefs, often misunderstood by other races. This distinctive heritage is reflected in their names, which range from ancient Jel words to more Tamrielic-influenced names.
