Myth and God Name Generators

Use them for fantasy novels, tabletop campaigns, video games or school projects about myth-making. Each tool gives ten names per click. Save your favourites and build a full pantheon, with gods, heroes and spirits that sound like they share one world and one long history.

How myths name their gods

Different mythologies have different habits. Greek gods often have names with endings like -os, -on and -e, and many have titles that describe them, such as 'grey-eyed' or 'far-shooting'. Norse names are short and strong, built from sounds like th, r and hard vowels. Egyptian names often begin or end with familiar parts tied to the sun or sky.

Many cultures also gave gods several names: one main name and a list of titles used in different places or for different roles.

• Give each god one main name and two or three titles.
• Tie the sound to the domain: hard sounds for war, soft sounds for healing.
• Use a shared sound for gods from the same family or pantheon.

Respecting real belief systems

Some mythologies are part of living religions today, followed by millions of people. If you are writing about a real belief system, read about it and treat its gods with care. For a fantasy world, it is often better to create new gods inspired by the feel of a myth than to borrow real gods directly.

These generators create new names in mythic styles. They give you gods and heroes that feel ancient while still belonging only to your world.

When you build a pantheon, start with the biggest gods: sky, sea, earth, death and war are common pillars. Then add smaller gods, heroes and spirits around them. Giving family members related names, such as a shared opening sound, makes the family tree easy to follow.
