Have you ever wondered what name would perfectly capture the essence of a fairy princess who dwells in an ethereal fairy palace? Or a mythical flying creature from a land rich in Irish folklore and Greek mythology? 

Whether you're a filmmaker, writer, or storyteller, the quest for the perfect fairy name for your characters is a journey into a world of magic and mystique. This compendium delves into a collection of over 599 fairy names, each a unique blend of sound, meaning, and cultural heritage, offering endless inspiration for your creative endeavors.

From the forest fairy whispering secrets in the woods to the regal fairy queen in A Midsummer Night's Dream, each name in this list is a gateway to countless fairy stories. Envision a beautiful fairy woman, her wings dusted with sparkling fairy dust, or a small, winged creature akin to the whimsical characters of Peter Pan.
