Every great hero needs an equally great blade, and every legendary weapon deserves a name that echoes its power, history, and destiny.

Iconic Sword Names
A legendary sword name defines its soul and destiny. To name yours, evoke myth, borrowing names from gods, legend, or ancient lore. Reflect the sword's power and hint at its purpose—does it slice down any foe, or can it only be wielded if the bearer is worthy? Pay homage to the type of sword and materials it's made from, especially rare metals like shadowsteel. Finally, consider the era, region, and culture where the sword was forged or will be used. For inspiration, check out these iconic sword names from legend and fantasy:
- Excalibur (Arthurian Legend)
- Andúril (Lord of the Rings)
- Sting (The Hobbit)
- The Master Sword (The Legend of Zelda)
- Nightmare (Final Fantasy)

- Ashbringer (World of Warcraft)
- Lightsaber (Star Wars)
