Skyrim Name Generator
The Skyrim name generator invents character names in the naming style of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. You pick race and gender, the tool draws fitting first and family names from a large pool and shows them instantly.
Which races are included?
- The ten playable races: Nord, Imperial, Breton, Redguard, Dunmer, Altmer, Bosmer, Orc, Khajiit and Argonian.
- Each race has its own name pool following the style of the game: Norse for Nord, Latin for Imperial, French-Celtic for Breton and so on.
- Orcs carry the typical gro- and gra- prefixes when needed, Khajiit get prefixed names with an apostrophe like J or Dro.
How does the generator work?
In Lore mode, the invented names follow the sound of the game's naming conventions. Famous characters such as town residents or followers never appear, so you get a real original name for your character. The random pick runs entirely in your browser.
What you can use it for
- New characters for Skyrim, Skyrim Special Edition or Enderal.
- Pen-and-paper rounds with an Elder Scrolls flavor.
- Novel characters, NPCs for your own mod projects or roleplay servers.
Frequently asked questions
Are these real names from the game?
No, the Lore names are invented in the style of the game. Famous characters are deliberately left out, so you get an original name instead of a known NPC name.
Can I generate first names only?
Yes, the option Always include surname controls whether the tool adds a family name. Without the tick, names without a surname appear too, just like in the game.
How many names can I generate at once?
By default, you get one name per click. For a list, use the count selector to generate up to 50 names at once.
Is anything stored?
No, the generator runs entirely in your browser. There is no upload and no storage of your selection.
