Demigod Name Generator

Demigods are the mortal children of gods, and their names almost always belong to the mortal side. Heracles, Perseus, Theseus, Achilles and Aeneas are ordinary Greek heroic names built from everyday roots: Heracles is "glory of Hera", Perseus likely "destroyer", Theseus "the one who sets in place". The divine parent shows up in the story, not the name. The same holds elsewhere: Cú Chulainn, son of Lugh, is "the hound of Culann"; Arjuna, son of Indra, is "bright" or "silver"; Maui and Gilgamesh are simply names. A convincing demigod name therefore sounds like a person of its culture first and a legend second.

That gives you three workable styles. Canon names from mythology (Orpheus, Sarpedon, Romulus, Hunahpu) carry instant weight. Invented names built from real ancient Greek elements (Kallias, Lysandra, Nikandros, Eurynome) fit a classical setting without colliding with a famous hero. And modern demigods in the Percy Jackson tradition use everyday first-and-last names, sometimes with a quiet mythological echo in the given name (Cassia Reyes, Orion Castellanos, Delphine Okafor).

The list below mixes all three, along with a smaller set of epithet names (Hektor Sunborn, Thaleia Wavecrest) for characters whose divine parentage is public knowledge.
