Daenerys Targaryen is one of the most iconic Game of Thrones characters, but, importantly, she’s not the only character in the world to have her name. The history of House Targaryen in Westeros dates back hundreds of years. With House of the Dragon on air, audiences might be beginning to notice how often characters in the Targaryen dynasty repeat names, from Viserys to Aegon to Rhaenys to many more. It’s a crucial part of George R.R. Martin’s naming schemes for every house in Westeros in the A Song of Ice & Fire books, and it importantly plays into his narratives.
