Altmer, also known as High Elves in Skyrim and other Elder Scrolls games, are the golden-skinned natives of the Summerset Isles. Their naming conventions reflect their sophisticated culture, ancient lineage, and magical prowess that has been refined over thousands of years.
Altmer names typically consist of a given name that often sounds elegant and flowing. Male Altmer names frequently end in "-ion," "-imo," or "-we," while female Altmer names commonly end in "-wen," "-iel," or "-iwen." These melodious names reflect the High Elves' refined aesthetic and their self-perception as the most civilized race in Tamriel.
The Altmer naming convention is perfect for fantasy characters beyond the Elder Scrolls universe as well. Their elegant, flowing names work well for high elves, noble characters, or magic users in many fantasy settings. Female Altmer names are particularly popular for fantasy characters due to their beautiful, ethereal quality.
Notable Altmer characters in the Elder Scrolls series include Ancano, Elenwen, and Faralda, all of whom exemplify the typical High Elf naming patterns seen in both Skyrim and Oblivion.
