Rhaegar

Rhaegar Targaryen is one of the most glamorous, noble characters in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series... even though he's been dead over a decade when the books begin. The reader first learns about him through Robert and Ned, both enemies, who paint a distorted picture of this striking man.

Among his many notable qualities? He's the uncle of Daenarys Targaryen, whose Essosi title Khaleesi has been the biggest breakout name in the whole Game of Thrones world.

Pronounced RAY-gar.

As of October 2026, Rhaegar ranked #13888 in US births in 2022 SSA, peaked at #7033 in 2018.
