These fairy tale prince names are famous from fantasy novels, children’s books, and folktales:

Disney prince names
Disney princes are the love interests of Disney princesses. Some of these male characters were born royal, while others were not. We still call them princes because their love interest is a Disney princess.
These are the names of the official Disney princes:

Aladdin
The protagonist of the Disney film Aladdin. Aladdin lives on the streets so he’s far from a royal. He becomes a prince by marrying princess Jasmine.

The love interest of Pocahontas in Pocahontas. He’s an explorer, not a prince. However, John Smith is considered a Disney prince because he falls in love with princess Pocahontas.

Bonus Disney prince names
These bonus princes are not official Disney princes, but they deserve to be mentioned!

The son of King Zeus in Hercules. Although Hercules is a prince, he’s not an official Disney prince because his love interest Megara is not an official Disney princess.

Appears in Frozen and its sequels. Falls in love with princess Anna in Frozen. He’s not usually mentioned in the lists of official Disney princes. I think he should be because he’s a love interest of a Disney princess. Isn’t that what qualifies someone as a Disney prince?
