Every name here is made up for a fictional map. The tool is told never to use a real state, province, country or city, and never a place from a book, film or game. It does not list or pick real US states.
Choose a fantasy realm, a sci-fi colony, a modern fictional country, an old-world historical style or an island archipelago. Keep the names that fit your map, combine two halves of different names, and press Regenerate for a fresh batch.
