The list below is a compilation of given names used by members of the aristocracy from the 10th century through the end of the byzantine era. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but rather those names which have been gleaned from the three listed sources. As more sources are incorporated, the list will expand.

The sources, listed in the right column, are: - DP - Demetrios Polemis, The Doukai
- DN - Donald M. Nicol, Studies in Late Byzantine Prosopography...
- ODB - Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium
Masculine names outnumber feminine names by almost three to one. This is, of course, a reflection of the primary sources, where documents concerning men are more prevelant.
