Caitian Name Generator
Purring, rolled names for Star Trek's feline species
Generate Caitian names for Star Trek's feline species: short apostrophe names like M'Rrel and S'Raal, longer forms like R'Shalurra, two-part names like Selhari M'Rraan, ranked officers like Lieutenant N'Raussa, and a few harsher Ferasan-style names like Kharrak.
About Caitian names
Very few Caitians have been named on screen. The two that matter are Lieutenant M'Ress, a communications officer on the Enterprise in Star Trek: The Animated Series, and Dr. T'Ana, the chief medical officer of the Cerritos in Lower Decks. Both names share one shape: a single consonant, an apostrophe, and a short second part. That is all the screen gives us, so the names in this list are originals written in that sound, not canon characters.
To keep 500 names from reading as one string repeated, the list stretches the pattern in several directions. Short forms such as M'Rrel, S'Raal and Sh'Naala stay closest to the two screen names. Longer forms like R'Shalurra and N'Urrissa add syllables, single names like Shiraal and Hraani drop the apostrophe, and two-part names such as Selhari M'Rraan pair a personal name with a family name. Ranked entries, from Ensign R'Leesha to Captain Sh'Naurress, are ready for a Star Trek Adventures sheet or a Star Trek Online captain.
A smaller group is written for Ferasans, the Caitians' cousin species, playable on the Klingon side of Star Trek Online. Those names keep the rolled r but trade soft vowels for hard stops: Kharrak, Zh'Krrat, Grr'Thak. Only a handful of names use T', the prefix Star Trek otherwise gives to Vulcan women.
How to choose Caitian names
- Say the name aloud. A Caitian name should roll or hiss: doubled r, long aa and ee, soft sh and ss. If it comes out clipped and hard, it reads as Ferasan or Klingon instead.
- Use one apostrophe per name and put it after the opening consonant, as in M'Ress and T'Ana. A second apostrophe makes the name hard to read on a character sheet.
- Go easy on T' names. Star Trek uses that prefix for Vulcan women, so M', S', R', N' or Sh' keeps your Caitian from being mistaken for one on a crew list.
- Give a long name a short call name for dialogue. N'Urrissa can simply be Urra to crewmates, the way a bridge crew shortens anything over two syllables.
- For a Ferasan in Star Trek Online, pick from the harder names such as Kharrak, Vrakkh or Zh'Arrgha and leave the soft, vowel-led names to Caitians.
Frequently asked questions
Which Caitians are named in Star Trek?
Very few. Lieutenant M'Ress served on the Enterprise in The Animated Series and Dr. T'Ana is the chief medical officer in Lower Decks; licensed tie-in material gives M'Ress the fuller name Shiboline M'Ress. Other Caitians on screen are mostly unnamed background characters.
Are these Caitian names canon?
No. They are original names written in the sound of the two screen Caitians, for your own characters. Star Trek has never set out Caitian naming rules, so treat the patterns here, short forms like M'Rrel and two-part names like Arruline S'Tessh, as one reasonable reading and not as established lore.
What is the difference between the Caitian and Ferasan names here?
Ferasans are a cousin species of the Caitians, playable on the Klingon side of Star Trek Online. This list gives them harsher names with k, g, z and kh sounds, such as Khrr'Zak, Gh'Rrakk and Rraggoth, while the Caitian names stay soft and vowel-led, such as L'Ourra or Leeshar. The split is a style choice made for this list.
Can I use these for Star Trek Online or Star Trek Adventures?
Yes. Take a ranked entry such as Lieutenant Commander N'Hraumi or Doctor P'Shaurri for a ready-made officer, or pair any single name with a rank of your own. For a fan story, a two-part name such as Hasmira H'Yurrin gives you both a formal and a familiar way to address the character.
