There is, however, a significant pronunciation pattern in the names certain lineages are given in FromSoftware's open-world RPG. Martin, approached by FromSoftware to help with world-building and create Elden Ring's origin myths, has said he didn't choose to give Elden Ring characters names to match his own initials. General Radahn - both a fearless warlord and sentimental softy who mastered gravitational sorcery so his giant body wouldn't burden his favorite horse - has a name similar to Radovan, Rada, Radojka, and other sobriquets from Slavic languages - the "Rad" element of these titles roughly translates to "happy/willing."įantasy author George R.R. Rykard, the Lord of Blasphemy, has an archaic-sounding version of the name Richard, old Germanic for "brave ruler" both the serpentine Lord Rykard in Elden Ring and Godrick the Grafted share the "Ric" element in their name - a perhaps-unintentional nod to how both Demigods turned themselves into monstrous beings. The name Radagon does sound similar to the feminine name "Radgund" (Ancient Germanic for "Counsel of War"), while Ranni, the disembodied Snow Witch, has a name similar to the real-life "Rani" (which can mean "Queen" in Sanskrit or "To Sing" in Hebrew).
Unlike the Demigod children of Lord Godfrey, Rennala, Radagon, and their children seem to have more fantastical names with no direct root in ancient languages.

If Godfrey, the first Elden Lord, fathered one major lineage of divine champions, then an equally prestigious bloodline of Demigods was birthed through the union of two great rulers - Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon and leader of the Glintstone Sorcerers at Raya Lucaria, and the red-headed Radagon, a Demigod champion of the Golden Order who harbored a strange secret. According to Miriel, Pastor of Vows (a giant turtle NPC in Elden Ring) Rennala and Radagon met on the field of battle, forged a peace between their respective nations, and became husband and wife, together birthing three Demigod children with tragic destinies and "R" prefixed names.
