Build Immersive Worlds Faster

World-building stalls when you spend hours naming cities on a map. Our Random City Name Generator taps GPT-4o to spin out authentic-sounding or wildly imaginative city names in seconds, letting you stay in the creative flow.

Tailor Every Settlement

Choose a Setting Style—Modern, Historical, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, or Post-Apocalyptic—to steer the linguistic flavor. Select a tone: majestic for shining capitals, gritty for noir back-alleys, whimsical for fairytale hamlets. Toggle Add Descriptor to append words like City, Port, or Fort. Drop a keyword such as “River” or “Gold” if every name should echo local lore. Generate up to 50 names per click and filter by length—short, medium, or sprawling epic.

How the AI Crafts City Names

GPT-4o cross-references phonetic patterns, cultural naming conventions, and regional suffixes (-grad, -polis, -heim) to produce names that feel grounded yet fresh. A Fantasy–majestic request might yield Aurelia’s Gate; a Post-Apocalyptic—gritty combo could return Rusthaven. Each list is new, ensuring no two creators share identical maps.

Generate and Explore

Set your parameters, click Generate, and watch city names rise like skylines. Save your favourites, regenerate for infinite possibilities, and dive into our broader collection—dragons, usernames, pet names, business brands, and more—always free, always AI-powered.
