That's a complicated question to answer. ;) When I needed German names for "Dark Storm Rising", I just got a list of German names and meanings and then went through them, trying to find a name and meaning that fit the character.
For "The Silent Blade", it was harder to find names that fit my characters. Some of the names were made from me searching medieval names, then adding and taking away from them or putting two different names together. Others were more common names I'd been wanting to use for a while and when I researched them, I was thrilled to find they were names used in the medieval time period. (Such as Henry, Kevin, Aaron, etc.)
