About Dynasty Warriors names

Dynasty Warriors names follow a strict pattern: a one-syllable family name followed by a one- or two-syllable given name, written in toneless pinyin with the given name run together (Zhao Yun, Xiahou Dun, Sun Shangxiang). A handful of two-syllable clan names instantly read as Three Kingdoms, such as Xiahou, Zhuge, Sima, Taishi and Gongsun, and the series gives most women either a single given name used like a title (Zhenji, Xingcai, Lianshi, Yueying) or a full name (Wang Yuanji, Guan Yinping, Lu Lingqi). Courtesy names are left out of the games, so Zhuge Liang is never Kongming and Zhao Yun is never Zilong.

The list includes the playable roster of every kingdom: Shu, Wei, Wu, Jin and the Other faction of Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, the Yuan brothers and the Nanman. It also covers historical generals who show up as enemy officers or unique NPCs (Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Shun, Zhang Ren, Hao Zhao, Wutugu), and several hundred original names built from real Han-era surnames and period-appropriate given names, including the rarer double surnames like Ouyang, Murong and Huangfu that work well for a created officer who is meant to stand out.

Use the canon names for quizzes and fan art captions, and the original names for Edit Mode characters, Empires custom officers and fan fiction.

How to choose Dynasty Warriors names

  • Keep the family name to one syllable unless you deliberately want a double surname; Xiahou, Sima, Zhuge and Ouyang sound important precisely because they are rare, so give them to a faction leader or a rival rather than a foot soldier.
  • For a created officer who is meant to be a relative of a canon character, reuse the canon surname with a new given name (Cao Yujing, Sun Lingyao, Guan Tiesheng). The games do this constantly with the Cao, Sun, Xiahou and Sima clans.
  • Pick given names with the right feel for the role: Tie, Zhan, Hu, Long and Bao suggest a brawler or tiger general; Wen, Zhi, Jing and Ruo suggest a strategist; Lan, Yue, Xue and Mei are conventional for female officers.
  • Do not pair a canon officer with their courtesy name or a respelled version as if they were two characters. Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong are the same man, and Edit Mode name lists look amateurish when they mix both.
  • Check that a created name is not already a minor historical figure in the roster; Zhang, Liu, Wang and Li were so common in the period that a random two-syllable name may already belong to a generic officer.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include every playable Dynasty Warriors officer?

Yes. The list includes the full Dynasty Warriors 9 roster for Shu, Wei, Wu, Jin and Other, including later additions like Xun You, Man Chong, Cheng Pu, Xu Sheng, Zhou Cang, Xin Xianying, Xiahouji, Dong Bai and Yuan Shu, along with historical generals who appear as enemy commanders. Fu Xi and Nu Wa, the two mythological figures who were playable in Dynasty Warriors 3, are not part of that roster and are left out.

Why are names like Zhenji and Xingcai only one word?

Koei gives several female characters a single given name or nickname rather than a full surname and given name, partly because history did not record their personal names. Zhenji means Lady Zhen, and Xingcai, Lianshi and Yueying are invented given names. Later additions like Wang Yuanji and Guan Yinping use full names, and either style is correct for a created character.

Can I use these names for Edit Mode or Empires characters?

That is what the original names are for. Roughly half the list is invented names built from real Han-era surnames and period-appropriate given names, so they fit next to the canon roster. A short invented name can still match a minor historical officer by chance, so look it up first if that matters to you.

How are the names romanized?

In the same Hanyu Pinyin without tone marks that the English releases use: Lu Bu, Xu Zhu, Zhou Yu, Sima Yi. Older Wade-Giles spellings such as Chu-ko Liang or Ts'ao Ts'ao from classic novel translations are not used here.
