Top 50 Medieval Horror Character Names
Horror character names often start ordinary before the story makes them terrifying. The contrast between a normal name and supernatural events is a genre convention: think Jack Torrance or Rosemary Woodhouse.
Medieval names (500-1500 CE) were simpler and often tied to occupation, location, or parentage. Common patterns include single names with descriptors: "John the Smith" or "Eleanor of Aquitaine."
