About this list
The Witcher names — names from the popular book, video game, and Netflix series The Witcher — may well become popular the way once-strange names from Game of Thrones and Harry Potter have.
The Witcher was created by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski in the late 1980s and has been translated into many languages and formats around the world. Along the way, names have been changed and characters invented.
The hero of The Witcher is Geralt — an antiquated form of Gerald — of Rivia. Its main female characters are Princess Cirilla, called Ciri, and the sorceress Yennefer. Antagonists include Cahir and Fringilla. A character called Jaskier, which means Buttercup in Polish but was translated to Dandelion in some formats, is the bard and companion to Geralt.
Many new characters in The Witcher Netflix series have more ordinary names. Following is a collection of names from all the formats for characters major and minor.
