Bothan Name Generator
Star Wars Bothan names for spies, senators and admirals
Generate Bothan names in the style of Borsk Fey'lya and Asyr Sei'lar: clipped given names paired with apostrophe-marked clan surnames from Bothawui and Kothlis. Built for Star Wars RPGs, fan fiction and Legends-era stories.
About Bothan names
Bothans are the furred, politically restless spies of Bothawui, best known from the line "many Bothans died to bring us this information" and, in the Legends novels, from Borsk Fey'lya, the ambitious councilor who schemed his way to the head of the New Republic. Their names follow a clear pattern: a short, consonant-heavy given name (Borsk, Koth, Tav, Peshk, Kursk, Asyr) followed by a two-part surname joined by an apostrophe, such as Fey'lya, Breil'lya, Sei'lar, Mal'ia or Kre'fey.
The part after the apostrophe usually marks the clan. Fey'lya and Breil'lya both belong to Clan Alya, which is why the shared -lya ending shows up across unrelated families, while Kre'fey and Bwua'tu point to other clans with their own standing in the Bothan Council. Not every Bothan carries the apostrophe form: names like Koth Melan and Dif Scaur show a plainer style common among off-world agents and Spynet handlers, and a character who dropped the clan marker can imply exile or disgrace.
The names below mix Legends characters, clan-marked surnames and plain forms, covering senators, Spynet operatives, Kothlis traders and New Republic admirals so the name fits the role you have in mind.
How to choose Bothan names
- Keep the given name to one or two syllables with a hard consonant cluster (Borsk, Traest, Peshk); soft, flowing names read as Twi'lek or human rather than Bothan.
- Use the part after the apostrophe as a clan marker and keep it consistent within a family: siblings and cousins share -lya or -fey even when the first element of the surname differs.
- Match the name to the Bothan Way: a scheming senator or Spynet chief suits a full clan name, while a deep-cover agent working among humans might use only a plain surname like Melan.
- Avoid borrowing Fey'lya or Kre'fey for an original character; pick a fresh clan ending so your Bothan does not read as a relative of a famous canon figure.
- For SWTOR, Edge of the Empire or Saga Edition, note the homeworld (Bothawui or the colony Kothlis) next to the name; colony Bothans are often written with shorter, blunter surnames.
Frequently asked questions
How are Bothan names structured in Star Wars?
Most Bothans have a short given name followed by a surname split by an apostrophe, like Borsk Fey'lya or Asyr Sei'lar. The ending after the apostrophe typically identifies the clan, so Fey'lya and Breil'lya both signal Clan Alya.
Are Bothan names different for males and females?
Only slightly. Male given names tend toward clipped clusters (Borsk, Kursk, Girov), while female names such as Asyr, Laryn and Karka are a little softer, but both use the same clan surnames and the same apostrophe convention.
Do all Bothan surnames need an apostrophe?
No. Characters like Koth Melan and Dif Scaur use plain surnames, which is common for Spynet agents and off-world Bothans. The apostrophe form simply shows a clan affiliation; leaving it out works well for an outcast or a character hiding their lineage.
Can I use these names for canon-era or Legends Star Wars games?
Yes. Bothans appear in both continuities, and the naming style is the same across Legends novels, the X-Wing series, SWTOR and tabletop RPGs, so any name here fits a Rebellion-era spy, a New Republic senator or an Old Republic operative.
