What would you name the world, and why?

So I needed a name for my world, which I never really considered before. I am not an English speaker so I need to ask you guys your opinion.<br><br>To make it easier, here's a list of a few things that might make it easier for you to consider:<br>- The world is part of a universe with other worlds, so it shouldn't be boring<br>- There is a lot of magic (but there are also guns)<br>- The story focuses a lot on "big" things like continents, empires and cities, rather than a village or people<br>- Everything below this line is background and not necessarily relevant for your answer, but I'm not removing it yet in case you want to know<br><br>If anything in the below isn't important to you, just ignore it.<br><br>- There are no humans, only fantasy races like elves, dwarves, etc.<br>- The world has been the center of lots of wars and the only empire that has been stable for thousands of years is collapsing, so the world is pretty much in ruin at the moment<br>- Mostly low to mid fantasy, lots of magic but also modern technology (and into the future)<br>- Most of the world is inspired by a lot of things from Asia, especially China, Korea and Japan, but also from Polynesia, parts of the Americas, Africa, Australia and Oceania.<br>- The world has a lot of big nations (10+), but also city states (20+), nomadic nations, tribal nations, etc.<br>- The world has changed a lot over the past, it's gone below sea level and above sea level, and it's had big continents etc.<br>- The story is history focused, which means that nations are rising and falling constantly, and the focus changes from one continent to the other depending on the age.<br>- It's a world that has been "destroyed" by the gods before, and was rebuilt according to their blueprint. The gods don't really exist anymore and their power is fading, so the world is now changing to be its "own" world<br><br>I've been brainstorming names for a while, and I've come up with a few that I don't hate yet. But I have so many worlds that I still have to name, so if you could help me out with names, that'd be great! :)
