Meanings come from this genre's invented word list, made for the generator: they aren't real-world etymology.
Royal names sound Latin and Germanic: Leo, Theo, Sig, Hild, Gwen, Max. In the generator's word list these mean lion, divine, victory, battle, white and greatest, a list made for the tool rather than a dictionary, even where it overlaps with familiar meanings.
Endings carry rank. Feminine -thea means vision and -wina companion; masculine -ius reads as heir and -mund as protector. The hand-picked Adelheid, Isabeau, Leopold and Maximilian are real historic names that show how long and formal the results can run.
Surnames are built like titles: a particle or a German or French first half (von, de, Rosen, Falken, Hohen, Eisen, Beau), a middle such as berg, stein, thal or hardt, and an ending like -heim, -dorf or -court. Falkenstein is falcons and stone; Rosenthal a valley of roses.
A royal house shares one name, so once a surname feels right, keep it and roll only first names for the rest of the family.
Real courts gave rulers a number after their name, and they still answered to something shorter at home. Use the long setting for the formal version and the short one for what a sister calls him across the breakfast table.
The dark tone adds noir, grimm and reth (exiled), useful for a pretender. Elegant brings fleur and elise for a ballroom, and powerful reign and rex for a monarch nobody argues with.
Hand-picked names first, then more from the generator, each with how to say it and what its parts mean.
