Wizard Names: Male, Female, Mage & Fantasy Name Ideas
A wizard's name should carry a little mystery — the kind that makes people wonder how many years of study, or how many dangerous secrets, sit behind it. This guide collects wizard names across styles and genders, along with the titles that turn a simple name into a legend. If you'd rather generate names instantly, our free Wizard Name Generator produces unlimited options with matching titles in seconds.

Fantasy Mage Names
"Mage" names lean slightly more exotic and worldly than traditional wizard names, often fitting a wandering scholar rather than a tower-bound academic: Ashara, Corvinus, Delphine, Faelnor, Grimwald, Ithariel, Kaelthorn, Lysander, Meridian, Ozymar, Peregrine, Quorath, Ravena, Solmyr, Thessaly, Vaelthorn, Wynstan, Xanathar, Yseult, Zorion.
Sorcerer & Warlock Name Ideas
Sorcerers draw power from within, and warlocks from a bargain with something greater — both benefit from names with a little edge. Sorcerer-leaning names: Kira, Draven, Seraphine, Malakai, Ondine, Ryven. Warlock-leaning names, often tied to a patron: Vex, Nyx, Caliban, Morrigan, Thane, Lilith, Orion, Vantha.
Wizard Titles and Epithets
A title turns a name into a reputation. Pair any of the names above with one of these: the Wise, the Ancient, Flamecaller, Stormweaver, Mindbreaker, Shadowbinder, the Grey, the White, Spellsinger, Runemaster, Voidwalker, Timeweaver, Stargazer, Dreamwalker, the Arcane, Soulbinder, Lightweaver, Darkwhisper, Windcaller, Hexmaster.
Titles work best when they reflect a specific school of magic or a defining moment — "Theron Flamecaller" suggests a fire-focused evoker with a story behind the name.
Dark Wizard Names
For a villainous or morally grey spellcaster, lean into harsher sounds and ominous titles: Malachar the Unmaker, Vexoth Nightshade, Grimhilde, Nethys the Devourer, Zoraxis, Corvath Doombringer, Sable the Cursed, Vaskir the Hollow.
How to Choose a Wizard Name
- Match the name to your character's race — an elf wizard often benefits from an elvish-style first name; a human wizard has more flexibility.
- Save the title for later — a first-level apprentice rarely has an earned epithet yet. Titles feel more meaningful once your character has actually done something to deserve one.
- Consider your school of magic — an evoker suits "Flamecaller," a diviner suits "Stargazer," a necromancer suits something darker.
- Say it out loud — wizard names with too many syllables or awkward consonant clusters slow down dramatic moments at the table.
