The Ultimate dynamic names thread (2024)

Hello!
Here I am going to list a whole bunch of historical names for various provinces across the globe, from Europe to Oceania, from Asia to South America.

I will incorporate some suggestions from my threads on the Caribbean and Oceania, as they didn't get as much attention as I'd hoped. I would greatly apriciate if you comment this thread with corrections, further suggestions, or just a simple "+1" as it would increase the chances of the devs seeing it.

Below each category in a spoiler, I will also post some constructed suggestions based on a translation of the name given to it by the colonizer (e.g. Puerto Rico = Richport; to give flavor, assuming the name would be the same should it be discovered first by another nation. This is however just a little extra flavor and shouldn't take away from the historical suggestions here, which is why I put them in spoilers)

Since I know EUIV struggles with having more than one province with the same name, I have tried to get optional suggestions for these places (i.e. Santiago which is an obvious choice for Picunumapu can also be Valparaiso. On the game's map the city is actually shown to be Valparaiso though)

I will also separate this thread into two posts, to avoid one, very long post. I sure hope a dev sees this and uses at least some names!

Enjoy dynamic names bonanza!

Legend:
Province name listed first, then names with the language in parentheses. Names for different languages will be separated by a semicolon, so that if it says "Valparaiso, Santiago" the first name will be the province name and the second the largest city. If there is no comma, then both are the same. Many of these names are also based on the location of the city on the map (if several notable cities are in the same province).

When I write Scandinavian I mean Norwegian, Danish and Swedish. Due to the recent changes to culture, I am sad I have to point this out.

I know most of Australia was colonized on the edge of, or just after, the game's timespan. Yet I base these on cities founded before 1821, or within a decade after. There are also other examples of names used in the game who date to just after 1821. Many of these suggestions are based on Cook's own map of the area.

Names include British, Dutch and French.

Map from 1830 in spoiler, note that most names on the map are from the game's timespan, and all names used are checked to be as such:

• #1106. Whangerei: Bay of Islands, Kerikeri (fun fact: place of the first European birth/infant in New Zealand)

• #1246. Waihopai: Bluff (also claimant to one of the oldest cities in New Zealand)

• #1108. Tauranga: Cape East

And I think this is all I have.

It would however be immensely helpful if you could add province numbers to the list.

Sure, I can add the province numbers but its quite the job.. Perhaps @ you when I'm done?

may I add some Italian names (for the Latin group)?

so far, in comparison to Spanish, french and German, Italian has a pittance of names (not even for its own provinces XD), whilst I think it deserves some love.
vtw, since most of these exonyms come from latin, there has to be some french/spanish version of most of them.

If we're doing a dynamic names thing, can I add a suggestion? Random New World names. Now the obvious problem is that random new world doesn't have historical names (or countries) which means you occasionally end up with places like English Elysium and Breton Red Neck, but most of the time you get Spanish qipqac and English Papoquop. Basically I'm suggesting that when colonizing a province finishes there is a chance to change the name to one which is randomly generated from one of several templates, for example
* New (Owned City, Province or completely controlled region name) [e.g. New London, New Cornwall, New Mercia] Provinces / regions with higher development more likely to be chosen
* Adjectival form of Ruler Name [e.g. Richardston]
* [Local Geographical Feature - based on terrain type] of [Random saint's name] (e.g. Mountains of Saint Patrick)
Similarly Colonial nations could have names generated in a similar manner using templates like:
* New [Original country] [e.g. New France]
* New [completely controlled region name] [e.g. New South Granada]
* Adjectival form of Ruler Name [e.g. Louisiana, Williamia, Georgia]

Naturally a name which was already in use shouldn't be used twice (even if they were in real life).

Dunno how feasible it is, but if it's doable then it should help fill the gap of historical names for Random New World provinces in a way which is more satisfying that the current situation?

Maybe three is a charm...

sorry but your names are not correct.

I don't know how fluent you are in italian, but the correct name of adrianople is adrianopoli, not adrinopoli.

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edirne

chelmo is wrong. the region can be called chelmia or zaclumia in italian, but I chose the name trebigne over that because this name is still used and more widespread.

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaclumia

as for candia, it was just the name of the main town on the island. albeit the venetians did call it so the whole island, this habit was not widely spread in contemporary italian literature. I suggest then adding candia as a name for the venetian culture only, otherwise stick with creta.

anyway, feel free to suggest other alternative names should you know any.

Click to expand...

If this thread is to be useful I'd like to avoid suggestions such as this. This is an early modern game and no Scandinavian state called Constantinople Miklagård in any part of this era (possibly with the exception of the newly added Iceland tag).
Archaic, pre-christian or mythological stuff gets suggested from time to time but that's not really appropriate or what we're after.
