Generate Atlantean names for the citizens, kings, and priests of the lost continent, drawing on Plato's Critias, Greek sea-mythology, and the flowing vowel-rich style used in Aquaman, Stargate, and Disney's Atlantis.

About Atlantean names

The only ancient source for Atlantis is Plato, and he gives real names. In the Critias, Poseidon marries a mortal woman named Cleito, daughter of Evenor and Leucippe, and fathers five pairs of twin sons who become the ten kings of Atlantis: Atlas, Gadeirus, Ampheres, Evaemon, Mneseus, Autochthon, Elasippus, Mestor, Azaes, and Diaprepes. The capital city, Poseidonis in later tradition, was ringed with walls of the red-gold metal orichalcum. Those Greek forms, heavy on -us, -eus, and -es endings, are the most authentic starting point for an Atlantean name.

Around that core, writers have added two more styles. The first borrows from Greek sea deities and nereids: Nereus, Amphitrite, Thalassa, Galatea, Cymothoe, Psamathe. The second is the modern comic and film Atlantis, where names are smooth and vowel-rich with liquid consonants: Atlanna, Mera, Vulko, Orin, Kida, Namor. Fantasy Atlanteans in this list follow that sound: Thalorin, Selunei, Naerith, Ondrasil, Kyranthos. The list also holds Homer's seafaring Phaeacians, Poseidon's cult titles, royal houses, and titled forms.

A good Atlantean name should feel ancient but not quite Greek, and it should flow like water. Favor l, r, n, and th sounds, open vowels, and endings like -is, -eus, -ith, or -a. Kings and priests can carry longer, formal names; commoners and warriors suit two-syllable forms like Orin or Naia.

How to choose Atlantean names

  • For a Plato-accurate Atlantis, use the ten kings and their descendants: pair a royal name like Ampheres or Elasippus with a Greek-style epithet such as "the Elder" or "of the Third Ring."
  • Match the tone of your Atlantis: Greek nereid names for a mythic tone, smooth invented names (Thalorin, Selunei) for high fantasy, short punchy names (Orin, Mera, Vulko) for a comic-book kingdom.
  • Use water sounds (l, r, n, s, and th) and avoid hard k and g clusters, which read as surface-dwelling or barbarian.
  • Give the royal house a shared element (Atlas, Atlanna, Atlantia) so readers can identify bloodlines at a glance.
  • Name districts, temples, and ships after the ten kings or the nereids to give the city a consistent internal history.

Frequently asked questions

What were the real names of the kings of Atlantis?

According to Plato's Critias, the ten kings were Atlas, Gadeirus (Eumelus in Greek), Ampheres, Evaemon, Mneseus, Autochthon, Elasippus, Mestor, Azaes, and Diaprepes, all twin sons of Poseidon and the mortal Cleito.

What language did Atlanteans speak?

Plato wrote the names in Greek and said they were translations of the original Atlantean tongue. Modern fiction invents its own: Disney's Atlantis used a constructed language by Marc Okrand, and DC's Aquaman comics use smooth invented names like Atlanna and Orin.

Are Atlantean names the same as mermaid names?

They overlap but differ in feel. Mermaid names lean toward pretty, sea-themed given names (Marisol, Coralyn, Ondine), while Atlantean names suggest a lost human civilization with kings, priests, and formal Greek-style forms.

Can I use these names in my novel or game?

Yes. Plato's names and the Greek mythological names are public domain, and the invented names here are free to use. Names of specific comic and film characters (Namor, Mera, Kida) are included for reference and belong to their publishers.
