Cosmino. It's because my world is based of zodiac signs and the cosmic world. I don't know how I managed to change it to be this way though.

Mine was originally called Virilia, but I changed it to Irilia because I thought it fit my fictional language better and I realized that it was alliteration with my main character's name.

I actually call my story/series "In a Realm of Shadows" but it takes place in our world (the human realm), a magical world that resides on the same plane of existence as us (called the supernatural realm), and the dimension which angles, demons, and gods come from and is the source of all magical energy (called the realm of shadows). I named the series after the most mysterious realm, because it is the driving force behind many major events in the story, and it's a complete mystery to everyone, aside from the characters who are from said realm.

I'm writing a novel about a world that takes place on the back giant sea turtle. Thus the world takes its name from the turtle's name which is Chelona. It is supposed to be a feminine version of the Latin word for sea turtle and has the same root as the genus name for most modern sea turtle species. I also considered Ventus and Relic but I found better places to use those names than in the title. I've only just joined Notebook AI today but I've been doing research for my book for well over a year now. I'm hoping that after I get everything collected into one place then I'll be inspired enough to start the writing process. It follows the story of a young nobleman that gets dragged into the politics of his island nation and is forced to flee the country to escape assassins. Over time he gathers companions, visits fascinating places, and does amazing things. Eventually he learns of the significance that the star covered cloak that his father passed to him before he died. His adventure soon transitions into a legend as he uncovers long-lost truths of his world. It seems cliché at first but I've certainly got a million ideas of my own to make it unique.

Um, I forgot why, but I called my world Endumia. It has 5 kingdoms and 3 deity kingdoms, as I like to call them, each with their own histories and cultures that I could (and have) spend hours writing or talking about.

I called my fantasy world the Seven Realms (because there are seven realms), but the one where most of the novel is set in is called the Five Islands, and the continent within the Five Islands that the novel is primarily set in is called Arwaëa. I made the name up–it just sounded very interesting to me.

The only named 'verse I have is called Ustara. Was flipping through a few generators and came across something similar, which was then tweaked into Ustara. (I mostly liked the name 'cause it's short enough to stick and it's close to Ostara.)

I like naming places what I imagine the people living there would call them. An example is the continent of Red Horizons, dubbed by the colonists who were so captivated by the vista of a brilliant blood-red rising sun in front of them, the glow of distant active volcanoes, and the countless crimson caps of towering mushrooms when they landed on the western shore one fateful morning.

The world of my medieval fantasy is called Malcera. I had already formed the main character's name, Kalia Anzora, so I played with sounds until I came up with a name that had a similar hard sound and "ah" ending, as with most of the names in the book.

…oh yeah, it probably should have a name, shouldn't it? XD

If you want to make something truly alien then it might be prudent to not give it a name at all. People like to name things to make them more familiar. It is a human habit. However, if your world is not populated by humans they might not have the same tendency to name things. It conveys how different your world is from our norm to the reader.

The Universe of Talin.

My universe in my (in the works) Novel, Order of Ver, is Veria.

At first, my world was called Lineria based off of a game but that didn't work out so much So I named a country in my world Lineria while out of the blue I decided to name the world Itoria.

My whole world is called Ether, which I mostly picked because it sounded similar to Earth but meant something more fantastic/out of the ordinary. I haven't figured out what to call the Fae world yet–right now, I've been calling it Below, but it needs a more creative name.

My world is called CaerLyndon. That name, like the world, has been under construction for a long time. I chose Lyndon because I wanted it to have a pseudo medieval England feel to it, and the Caer part just sounded cool. Although it’s not really a world, more of a single country/small continent.

My world is called Warna (which is the Earth's core). My characters live in Warna and travel to the surface of the Earth, which they call Anraw, to control color. :) (Warna means colors in indonesian).

My friend and I are starting to write a story and the world we created was called Crysilla (Cri-sill-ah). We just made it up

brazania

and chiropractia

Mine is called Othyr becuase it's the other world

I have a couple worlds going on. The first one is called the Five Nations. In case it wasn't painfully obvious, it is called such because it's a made up of 5 nations.
It was originally six, but then I found out that there's a First Nations reserve with the same name so I felt kinda weird about using it. The sixth nation wasn't really an important part of the story so it was pretty expendable. Nothing really changed when I scrapped it.
Edit to add: The names of the Five Nations are Faralia, Falthra, Kvar, Arribea, and Stalvenia

My other one is called Toltova. I just got that one from a fantasy place name generator.

The world is called Hedhallis, it used to be called Alonia but that was really just a place holder until.

Mine is called Elysea Dionriel. It means the World Seen by All

My world is called Abbition.
