I’m looking for medieval themed names for a character. She’s a middle-aged caucasian woman with brown hair and eyes. Her personality can be described as serious, romantic, apathetic, polished, articulate, stubborn, and deceitful
When you say medieval, what kind of era are we talking? Where in the 500-1500AD bracket were you thinking and what kind of area do you want her to come from; a more Germanic, Romance, Slavic, Celtic etc. background?

This website might be useful to you!
I’d say Behind the Name is a good place to look for medieval names.
Medieval names (of various origins): Browse Names - Behind the Name
Late Roman names: Browse Names - Behind the Name
The s-gabriel website is also very good, if there’s a specific language or region you have in mind. Medieval Names Archive
