Choose Genre and Origin
Genre
Fantasy, sci-fi, modern, horror, romance, school or action — each pulls the names toward its setting and era.
Origin
English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Nordic, Greek or Latin names, or a mix.
Original script
Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Greek names come with their original writing, so you can use them correctly.
Real meanings
Real names come with their actual meaning or origin, not a made-up one.
How to Use the Character Name Generator
01
Set genre, gender and origin
Match your story's setting, or leave options on Any for a varied list.
02

Add a trait or theme — "grumpy detective", "cheerful healer", "cold-blooded heir" — to steer the feel.
03
Generate and copy
Copy names one by one or all at once, and generate again for more.
Tips for Naming Characters
Vary first letters
Two main characters named Mara and Mia blur together on the page.
Fit the era
A medieval knight and a 2020s streamer rarely share the same names.
Use meaning as subtext
A name meaning "light" on a villain, or "wolf" on a gentle character, can add irony.
Check the full name
Read first and last name together out loud before you commit.
