Dune House Name Generator

From Frank Herbert's novels and appendices: Atreides, Harkonnen, Corrino, Ecaz, Richese, Moritani, Fenring, Ginaz, Hagal, Kenric, Metulli, Mutelli, Novebruns, Tantor, Taligari, Teranos, Varota, Wallach and others. Ordos comes from the Dune Encyclopedia and the strategy games, while Vernius, Thorvald, Butler, Venport, Bludd and Ginjo appear in the Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson prequels. Everything else in this list is original.

Herbert imagined humanity's noble families as survivors of many Earth cultures, scattered across the Imperium over ten thousand years after the Butlerian Jihad. Greek, Latin, Finnish, Japanese, Mongol and Norse names coexist because the Landsraad is a melting pot of ancient lineages rather than one culture.

It is optional. Characters in the books usually say just the family name, but formal and written contexts use House Atreides of Caladan. Pick a homeworld from Herbert's planets (Poritrin, Chusuk, Gamont, Lankiveil, Bela Tegeuse) or invent one, and use the long form for introductions and the short form in dialogue.

Yes. Dune: Adventures in the Imperium expects players to create their own Minor House, and Dune: Imperium tables often give homebrew leaders a House. Choose a name whose language root matches the culture you want, add a homeworld and a trade, and it will fit alongside the canon houses.
