About Dragon Ball Z names

Dragon Ball Z runs from Raditz's arrival on Earth through the defeat of Kid Buu, and its cast follows Akira Toriyama's pun-based naming system faction by faction. Saiyans are vegetables (Kakarot, Vegeta, Raditz, Nappa, Broly). Frieza's family are cold things (Frieza, Cooler, King Cold) and his lieutenants are fruit (Zarbon, Dodoria, Appule, Cui). The Ginyu Force are dairy: Ginyu is milk, Jeice is cheese, Burter is butter, Recoome is cream, Guldo is yogurt. Namekians are snails and slugs (Nail, Dende, Slug, Guru's Cargo and Moori) or instruments for King Piccolo's line (Piccolo, Tambourine, Cymbal, Drum, Piano). Dr. Gero's creations are simply numbered, Cell is named for what he is, and Majin Buu's line spells out Bibidi Babidi Buu.

Earthlings mostly follow food themes too. Bulma's family are underwear (Bulma is bloomers), Krillin's name comes from kuri (chestnut) plus Shaolin, Yamcha is dim sum, Tien Shinhan is a fried rice dish, Chiaotzu is a dumpling, and Roshi is simply old master. Movie villains obey rules too: Turles's crew are nuts and beans and Garlic Junior's Spice Boys are spices and condiments.

The names collected here cover the main DBZ roster across the sagas and movies, then add original names on the same puns, from vegetables, cold words, snails and dairy to spices, grains, Earthling dishes, clothing and Red Ribbon color ranks.

How to choose Dragon Ball Z names

Decide the OC's race first, then follow that race's pun theme: vegetables for Saiyans, cold words for Frieza's kind, snails or instruments for Namekians, dairy for elite squads, fruit for Frieza Force grunts, Bibidi-Babidi-Buu sounds for Majins.
Androids should stay numbered; pick an unused number between 19 and 30 rather than giving an android a food name.
Keep names to two or three syllables so they can be shouted mid-fight; almost every DBZ name (Goku, Frieza, Cell, Buu, Vegeta, Trunks) is that short.
Twist the pun so it reads as a name: reverse it (Turles from lettuce), clip it (Tarble from vegetable) or respell it (Jeice from cheese) instead of using the plain word.
For future or alternate timeline characters, reuse the canon name with a prefix (Future Trunks, Future Gohan) instead of inventing a new one, which is how the series handles it.

Frequently asked questions

What are the Z Fighters' names?

The core Z Fighters are Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Trunks, Goten, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Android 18 and later Android 17, Uub and Majin Buu, with Master Roshi, Yajirobe and Videl often included.

Why is Krillin called Krillin?

His Japanese name Kuririn combines kuri (chestnut, a joke about his bald head) with the -rin sound from Shaolin, the temple linked to Chinese martial arts. Most Earthling names in the series are food or martial-arts puns.

How should I name a DBZ OC villain?

Choose a faction and its theme. A new Frieza Force officer could be a fruit (Lychee, Persimo), a Cooler squad member a dressing or condiment, an android a number, and a Frieza-race character a cold word like Glacia or Rimefrost.

Can I use these DBZ names in fan fiction or games?

Yes. Original names are free to use for OCs, fan fiction, roleplay and custom fighters in Xenoverse, FighterZ or Sparking Zero. Canon characters and Dragon Ball Z belong to Akira Toriyama, Shueisha and Toei Animation.
