Garlean Name Generator

Garlean names in Final Fantasy XIV are built on a strict three-part formula that mirrors the Roman tria nomina: a given name, a lowercase rank particle, and a family name. Gaius van Baelsar, Nero tol Scaeva and Livia sas Junius all follow it. The particle is not decoration; it is the character's standing in the imperial hierarchy. Only the Emperor uses zos (Solus zos Galvus, Varis zos Galvus), and yae marks members of the imperial line such as Zenos yae Galvus. Van belongs to a legatus commanding a legion, while sas, tol and rem cover the tribunus ranks below, mal and quo sit around the centurion and praefectus level, goe and pyr denote optio and pilus prior, jen is a lower officer, and aan is a foot soldier or provincial with no rank at all.

Given and family names lean Latin, drawing on real Roman praenomina and cognomina (Quintus, Aulus, Julia, Maxima; Junius, Cinna, Scaeva, Soranus). Because the Empire conscripts from its conquered provinces, plenty of Garlean officers were born elsewhere and keep a foreign given name under a Garlean family name: Fordola rem Lupis and Grynewaht pyr Arvina are Ala Mhigan, Yotsuyu goe Brutus is Doman, and Lucia goe Junius is Ishgardian. Cid nan Garlond shows the special "nan" particle for those outside the military structure.

Every name below follows those rules, so an FC villain, an imperial defector, or a Bozjan-era Garlean roleplay character will read as authentic to anyone who knows the lore.
