Generate dharma names in the traditions where they are actually given: Tibetan (Tenzin Palmo, Pema Chödrön), Zen and Chan (Shunryu, Kōshō, Xuyun), Theravada Pali (Sumedho, Ñāṇamoli), Plum Village 'True' names, and Hindu sannyasa names ending in -ananda.

About dharma names

A dharma name is the name a Buddhist practitioner receives from a teacher when taking refuge, precepts or ordination. It marks a new identity and usually describes a quality the teacher hopes the student will grow into. In Tibetan Buddhism the name is normally two words, often beginning with a syllable from the teacher's own name (Tenzin, Lobsang, Ngawang, Karma) followed by a virtue or auspicious word: Pema (lotus), Dorje (vajra), Yeshe (wisdom), Chödrön (dharma lamp), Wangmo (powerful woman).

Japanese Zen names are two kanji read together (Shunryu, 'excellent emerald'; Kōshō, 'shining voice'; Ryōkan, 'good and generous'), and Chinese Chan and Korean Seon follow the same two-character pattern (Xuyun, 'empty cloud'; Seung Sahn). Theravada monks take Pali names such as Sumedho (wise), Anālayo (without attachment) or Ñāṇamoli (crown of knowledge), while lay Pali names draw on the ten perfections: Mettā, Khanti, Sīla, Saddhā. Plum Village names begin with Chân (True) plus a quality, often translated directly, e.g. True Emptiness or True Peaceful Dwelling. The list also covers Vietnamese names (Vạn Hạnh), Therīgāthā nuns (Paṭācārā) and Indian masters (Shantideva).

Hindu spiritual names work similarly: sannyasis in the Dashanami order add -ananda (bliss) to a quality (Vivekananda, 'bliss of discernment'; Sivananda), and Vaishnava initiates take a name of God plus Das or Dasi (servant), as in Govinda Das or Radha Priya Dasi.

How to choose dharma names

  • Choose the tradition first: Tibetan names are two-part (Tashi Dorje), Zen names are single two-kanji words (Kōshō), Pali names are single words (Sumedho), Vaishnava names end in Das or Dasi.
  • Match the meaning to the quality you want to cultivate; teachers pick names like Khanti (patience) or Karuṇā (compassion) as an aspiration, not a description.
  • For a fictional monk, pair a plausible dharma name with a title: Venerable, Ajahn (Thai), Bhante (Theravada), Rōshi or Sensei (Zen), Rinpoche or Lama (Tibetan).
  • If you are writing about a real lineage, avoid famous names of living teachers (Pema Chödrön, Thich Nhat Hanh's students' names) for your own characters; use the pattern instead.
  • Real dharma names are given, not chosen, so if you practice, treat this list as a way to understand meanings and traditions rather than to self-assign a name.

Frequently asked questions

What is a dharma name?

A dharma name (Sanskrit dharma-nāma; Japanese hōmyō or kaimyō) is a Buddhist name given by a teacher when a student takes refuge, precepts or ordination. It usually expresses a virtue or aspiration and replaces or supplements the person's birth name in the sangha.

How do Tibetan dharma names work?

They are two words, and the first is often taken from the teacher's own name so students of the Dalai Lama frequently receive Tenzin. The second word is a quality or blessing: Palmo (glorious woman), Dorje (vajra), Chöpel (spreader of dharma), Wangmo (powerful).

Can I choose my own dharma name?

Traditionally no; the teacher gives it. Some Western sanghas invite the student to suggest a quality they want to embody, and the teacher then chooses the name. You can, however, freely use these names for characters in fiction and games.

What is the difference between a dharma name and a Hindu spiritual name?

Both are initiation names, but Hindu names follow their own patterns: -ananda names for Dashanami sannyasis (Sivananda) and God's-name-plus-Das/Dasi for Vaishnava devotees (Krishna Das). Buddhist names use Pali, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese or Vietnamese vocabulary of virtues.
