Name Generator

Choose a “Language” and the generator shows ten random names that are common in that language today, and “Generate new” shows ten more. Each language has 120 male and 120 female first names and 120 surnames. Under “Gender” choose “Any”, “Male” or “Female”, set “How many” up to 50, and untick “With a surname” if you only need first names. The names follow the customs of each language: the surname comes first in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Hungarian, women get the female form of the surname in Russian, Polish, Czech, Slovak and Greek, and Spanish and Portuguese names have two surnames.

Random names help when a story, a game or a role-play needs characters from another country, when you test a form, a database or an app with realistic data, or when you are looking for a name for a baby, a pet or a pen name. Click a name to copy it, or copy or download all the names on the screen. The first names and surnames are combined at random, so a name does not belong to a real person, and nothing is sent to a server. For invented names of fantasy, medieval or science fiction characters, try the character name generator.
