In many works of fiction, the ruler of a country or piece of land will often share his surname with the land itself. There can be a few reasons—the country may have been named by the ruler after himself, or the ruler may be an outsider who took the country's name as his own to fit in. It may also simply be tradition for the current ruler to take the name of the country as a surname when he comes to power. This practice comes from the old Western European naming convention, before the introduction of modern family names, to refer to people as "<name> of <birthplace or home>", such as Henry of York. Later in the medieval period this became known as a "territorial surname" and was used to specifically note that the person was a landowner or noble of some sort. On the other hand, the country might in fact have been named after the dynasty that rules or ruled it—the Principality of Liechtenstein, for example, is named after the ruling House of Liechtenstein ... which in turn is named after its ancestral home in Castle Liechtenstein, Austria. In fiction this can occur due to authors not having knowledge of noble houses, or the proper history behind territorial surnames. In short, it's simply easy to name the ruler of a country after the country, because it saves the writer getting into the politics of the political houses and it's easier to remember for the reader. Compare Egopolis. |

In the Heralds of Valdemar series, the Kingdom of Valdemar is named after its first ruler, King Kordas Valdemar. He in turn was Duke Kordas of the Duchy of Valdemar (demoted to Baron just before leaving) in the Eastern Empire, which he fled with his people when it became too despotic. When they settled, they insisted that he crown himself and named the land after him. His surname is taken from his former duchy, and so his people were already accustomed to thinking of the land as "Valdemar" and themselves as Valdemarans. | |

In Might and Magic VI, several of the lords share names with the castles they reside in, but the only where it is shared with the nearest settlement or the region is Castle Ironfist (which is definitely of the place-named-for-family variety, as the local Ironfist branch comes from a lord who accidentally fled to another world after a failed usurpation attempt, and then unified the Kingdom of Enroth in his new home after building a new seat). | |

Happens a lot in the Fire Emblem series. In Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and The Blazing Blade, the marquesses of Lycia are referred to after the provinces they govern, such as Marquess Ostia (being Uther or Hector, depending on the game) or Marquess Pherae (Elbert & Eliwood, respectively) and Lord Pent and his wife Louise are also called Count/Countess Reglay. In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, we have Elincia Ridell Crimea, princess (later queen) of Crimea, as well as King Daein (Ashnard) and King Kilvas (Naesala). | |

Anbennar: After a former slave named Castan founded the empire that would be known as Castanor or Castan's Empire, every subsequent emperor took the name Castan upon ascension (while known by their regnal number during their reign, most of them would become known as "Castan the [Something]" or "Castan [Something]" after something that stood out about their reign, to help keep them apart — for example, the first became known as Castan the Progenitor while the last became known as Castan the Enthralled). The tradition is restored if Castanor is refounded in-game, although for mechanical reasons it isn't properly representednote there isn't any command that can rename a monarch, so the re-founder keeps their non-Castan name despite, lore-wise, becoming Castan LIV, and if dynastic succession is adopted the player can simply name their heir something other than Castan | |

The Imperial House of Jurai from Tenchi Muyo! all take 'Jurai' as a surname after bonding with with a tree ship, which is part of the succession laws. This results in Jurai royalty having double surnames, since before attaching "Jurai" they already have the surname of one of the four branches of the family (Masaki, Kamiki, Amaki or Tatsuki). | |

The Land of Oz is at first ruled by the Wizard, who calls himself Oz. We later learn that the land was already called Oz before he got there and the fact that the Wizard was also named Oz was a coincidence. The Wizard thought they had named the country after him. From the second book onward, Oz is ruled by a princess named Ozma. Depending on the backstory of the given book, male rulers are always named Oz and female rulers are always named Ozma, so the Wizard arriving in a hot air balloon emblazoned with "OZ" is why the citizens declared him ruler in the first place. | |

In Stargate SG-1, Master Bra'tac constantly refers to General Hammond as "Hammond of Texas". It isn't so much this trope here, though, than the Jaffa formal way of addressing a peer (Jaffa don't have family names, and use instead their places of origin). When O'Neill first talked to Bra'tac about the General, he mentioned he was from Texas, and it stuck. | |

The Legend of Zelda: A couple games (The Wind Waker, Breath of the Wild) give the royal family of Hyrule the last name Hyrule. Both are justified, as the land was once ruled and protected by the goddess Hylia, and Skyward Sword reveals that the first Zelda was Hylia's reincarnation and is implied to have resettled Hyrule with humans after the game's end. The final dungeon of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is in the long dead eastern kingdom of Ikana. Partway through, you fight the undead skeleton of its last king, Igos du Ikana. Judging by this construction, 'du' probably means 'of' in whatever language is spoken in Ikana (probably Hylian), rendering him 'Igos of Ikana'. A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Oracle of Ages, and Twilight Princess have characters named "King Zora" who rule over Zora's Domain. Also doubles as Species Surname. |

The Forgotten Realms setting flipflops on this with regard to the city-state of Neverwinter. According to some sources it's called that because its river never freezes (due to being heated by a nearby volcano).

The Elder Scrolls: The legendary Yokudan (Precursors to the Redguards) hero and Ansei, Frandar Hunding, both plays this straight and inverts it in difference instances. To note: Playing it straight, both Hunding Bay in Hammerfell and Port Hunding on the island of Stros M'Kai are named after him. Also Inverted, as the "Hunding" part of his name refers to the region of Yokuda where he was born. Essentially, these places were named after him, who was already named after a different place. There is actually in-universe debate over whether Reman Cyrodiil, the founder of the Second Cyrodiilic Empire, took the name of the country as his surname when he was crowned or if the country is named after him. It is likely that he took the name of the country, which was originally "Cyrod" in the language of the Ayleids. As mentioned, there have been three recognized Cyrodiilic Empires in Tamriellic history. To differentiate them, they are often referred to with the name of the ruling dynasty. The first is the Alessian Empire, founded by St. Alessia "the Slave Queen". The second is the Reman Empire, founded by Reman Cyrodiil. The third is the Septim Empire, founded by Tiber Septim, and is the ruling empire during each game in the series through Oblivion. Following the events of Oblivion, the Empire is left without a Septim on the throne and goes into a steep decline. Titus Mede, a local warlord, manages to capture the Imperial Throne and establishes the Mede Dynasty. However, it isn't a true dynasty like the others and generally is not counted among them. It has largely claimed the remaining pieces of the Septim Empire. The legendary Aldmeri Bold Explorer and poet, Topal the Pilot, lends his name to Tamriel's Topal Bay and the Niben River system of Cyrodiil is named after his ship. Ironically, Topal explored the Topal Bay and Niben River system by mistake. After exiting Black Marsh, while trying to get back home to Firsthold, he mistook the "jutting peninsula" of Elsweyr as the mainland sailed north into the Bay and River. Had he known that was a peninsula and sailed around it, he would have gotten home much sooner and never would have explored central Cyrodiil, his most famous accomplishment. St. Veloth was the legendary Chimer mystic who led his people away from the decadence of the Summerset Isles to their new homeland in Morrowind. The mountain range separating Morrowind from Skyrim is known as the Velothi Mountains in his honor. |

Asbel and Hubert from Tales of Graces have the last name Lhant, the same name as their hometown which their family rules over, though Hubert subverts this trope after being adopted by the Oswell family and taking on their last name. | |

The final dungeon of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is in the long dead eastern kingdom of Ikana. Partway through, you fight the undead skeleton of its last king, Igos du Ikana. Judging by this construction, 'du' probably means 'of' in whatever language is spoken in Ikana (probably Hylian), rendering him 'Igos of Ikana'. | |

Blackadder: In the first series, Edmund attempts to get out of his marriage to the Infanta of Spain by dressing garishly to make her think he's gay, apparently modelling his fashion after the Earl of Doncaster. This leads to his father greeting him (in usual BRIANBLESSED fashion) with "MORNING, DONCASTER!!!" | |

Doctor Who: In "The Curse of Peladon" and its sequel story "The Monster of Peladon", the ambassador from Alpha Centauri is just called Alpha Centauri. Presumably this was done by the writers to give a Shakespearean feel to all the courtly intrigue. In "The Curse of Peladon" only, the King of Peladon is named simply "Peladon". | |

In the Ultima series, Lord British rules over Britannia. In this case the land was named after him: He united the land, then called Sosaria, under one banner and rechristened it Britannia. | |

In The Traitor Baru Cormorant, all the dukes and duchesses of Aurdwynn are named after their duchies to the point where the names of the duchies are used as if they were their personal names: Duke Oathsfire of Oathsfire becomes just Oathsfire, Duchess Nayauru of Nayauru becomes just Nayauru, and so on. The only exception is Duchess Tain Hu of Vultjag, who sports a first and last name but is also vastly more important to the narrator. | |

In Dragon Ball Z, all the kings who rule Planet Vegeta are named Vegeta themselves, though it's a bit of a moot point now since Planet Vegeta got blown up. The current Vegeta is Vegeta IV, while his father was King Vegeta III, who had renamed the planet after himself after conquering it. | |

In A Magical Roommate, Aylia is properly named Aylia of Umbria because she's a member of the royal family of Umbria. However, in the other mundane world, she drops the 'of' and reluctantly uses Umbria as her surname. | |

In Crusader Kings II, nomadic khagans and rulers of Arabic, Turkish, Indian, Tibetan, and Han cultures (and the offscreen Emperor of China in the Jade Dragon expansion) have the country named after their dynasty, e.g. the Abbasid Empire. (If there are multiple rulers of the same tier and dynasty, the one with the most realm holdings takes priority and the others are referred to by the actual name of the title, e.g. Arabian Empire as opposed to Abbasid Empire.) | |
