Attack on Titan Name Generator

Attack on Titan's cast is named like a roll call from a German military academy around 1910, and that is deliberate: Hajime Isayama set Paradis and Marley in a world modeled on central Europe. Given names such as Eren, Armin, Reiner, Bertholdt, Erwin, Petra, and Gunther are German or Germanic, and surnames like Jaeger (hunter), Braun, Hoover, Kirstein, Springer, Reiss, and Fritz complete the effect. Exceptions carry story weight: Mikasa's Japanese name marks her Hizuru heritage, and volunteers like Onyankopon and Yelena hint at a wider world.

Beyond personal names, the series has its own vocabulary of titles. The Nine Titans are named for what they do or look like (Attack, Armored, Colossal, Beast, Jaw, Cart, War Hammer, Female, Founding), and Titan Shifters are always known by both their human name and their Titan. Military units follow the same plain, functional style: Survey Corps, Garrison, Military Police, Levi Squad, Warrior Unit, Panzer Unit.

The list above covers the full canon cast across all four seasons and the Marley arc, the Nine Titans and major factions for reference, and a large set of original Eldian and Marleyan names built on real early-twentieth-century German first names and surnames.
