About Asterix names

Almost every invented name in the Asterix comics is a joke with a national ending. The Gauls end in -ix, an ending borrowed from real chieftains such as Vercingetorix, and the English editions, translated by Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge, turn it into puns like Getafix the druid, Cacofonix the bard and Vitalstatistix the chief. The recipe is simple: take an English word or phrase that ends in an -ics, -icks or -ix sound and respell the ending. Fiddlesticks becomes Fiddlestix, acrobatics becomes Acrobatix, up to his old tricks becomes Uptohisoldtrix.

The books give every people its own ending, and this list follows them. Gaulish women end in -a (Impedimenta in the books, Extravaganza and Whatsthebigidea here), Britons in -ax (Flapjax, Unionjax), Normans in -af (Autograf, Bellylaf), Goths in -ic (Barometric), Egyptians in -is (Tabletennis, Roomservis), Greeks in -os or -es (Kudos, Isosceles) and Romans in -us (Rambunctius). Gauls make up the largest share, as they do in the village.

Several dozen entries are names from the English edition, included as the pattern to follow. Most of the rest are fan-made puns on the same rules. Others will match a minor character in the series, so treat them as ideas for your own villagers, pets, game characters and party name tags, not as a guide to the books.

How to choose Asterix names

Read the name aloud. An Asterix pun works when the listener hears the everyday word first and the ending second: Pickupstix, Cakemix, Hattrix.
Match the pun to the job, the way the books do with Unhygienix the fishmonger and Cacofonix the bard. A baker could be Breadstix, a teacher Mathematix, a gardener Botanix and a musician Philharmonix.
Choose the ending by people before you choose the joke: -ix for a Gaul, -a for a Gaulish woman, -ax for a Briton, -af for a Norman, -ic for a Goth, -is for an Egyptian, -os or -es for a Greek, -us for a Roman.
To make your own, list words that end in -ic, -ics or -icks, then try whole phrases. Phrases give the best results because the reader has to work the joke out.
Keep the joke on the word. The names in this list play on spelling and sound, never on a nation or a person, which keeps them safe for a classroom or a family party.

Frequently asked questions

How do Asterix names work?

Each name is an ordinary word or phrase with the ending of a people added. Gauls end in -ix, so acrobatics gives Acrobatix and sidekicks gives Sidekix. Gaulish women end in -a (Ballerina), Britons in -ax (Thumbtax), Normans in -af (Goodlaf), Goths in -ic, Egyptians in -is, Greeks in -os or -es (Tuxedos) and Romans in -us.

Which names on this list come from the comics?

Several dozen are from the English edition, among them Asterix, Obelix, Getafix, Dogmatix, Vitalstatistix, Cacofonix, Impedimenta, Unhygienix, Fulliautomatix, Geriatrix, Bacteria, Panacea, Anticlimax, Timandahaf, Edifis, Crismus Bonus and Goths such as Metric, Rhetoric and Electric. Most of the others are fan-made and are not official names, though a plain pun can match a minor character not listed here. Names also change between editions: the druid called Getafix in English is Panoramix in the original French.

What is a good Asterix name for a pet?

Short -ix puns suit animals, in the spirit of Dogmatix. Try Cowlix, Sidekix, Drumstix or Picnix for a dog, and Fiddlestix or Overdramatix for a cat with opinions.

Why are there so few Roman names here?

Romans in -us are kept to a small share, with names such as Rambunctius, Scrumptius and Eucalyptus. The site's Funny Roman Name Generator is the page for mock Latin names, so this list spends its space on the Gauls and their neighbors.
