Daenerys

Daenerys is a feminine given name from George R.R.

Martin's fantasy series *A Song of Ice and Fire* and its television adaptation *Game of Thrones*.

The character Daenerys Targaryen—called the Mother of Dragons—inspired parents to name daughters Daenerys or the variant Khaleesi (her title) during the show's popularity in the 2010s: She named her daughter Daenerys after her favorite character.
