Female Samurai Name Generator

Yes. Women of the warrior class, called onna-musha or onna-bugeisha, trained with the naginata and bow to defend their homes, and a number fought in the field: Tomoe Gozen in the Genpei War, Hangaku Gozen at Torisaka in 1201, Ii Naotora as a ruling lord, Tachibana Ginchiyo as head of her clan, and Nakano Takeko leading the Joshitai at Aizu in 1868.

Family name first, personal name second, the same as men. Women's given names were usually short: Heian ladies used -ko names (Masako, Tokiko), Sengoku women used names like Ichi, Matsu or Sen, often with the polite O- prefix (Oichi, Omatsu), and daughters of lords were recorded with -hime, as in Kaihime or Senhime.

Gozen is an honorific roughly meaning 'lady' or 'her presence', used in war tales for noblewomen and a few men. Tomoe's name was simply Tomoe; the chronicles added Gozen out of respect. Using it for one heroine works well, but a whole cast of Gozens reads as a tic.

Take a real warrior clan surname such as Sanada, Nabeshima, Amago or Katakura and pair it with a period given name: Tsuru, Kiku, Shizu, Tora, Koto or Sen for Sengoku, or Takeko, Hisako, Yaeko for the 1860s. Add O- (Okiku) for everyday address or -hime (Kikuhime) if she is a lord's daughter.
