God of War Name Generator

God of War names come from two mythologies stitched together by one man. The Greek saga took its names straight from Olympus and the Theogony, so Kratos (the personification of strength), Deimos (terror), Orkos (oath), Ceryx (herald) and Aletheia (truth) are all real Greek daimones rather than invented words. Santa Monica Studio kept the same trick for the Norse games: Atreus was named for a Spartan, but Mimir, Baldur, Angrboda, Thrud, Sinmara and the Valkyries Hrist, Mist, Eir and Gondul are lifted from the Eddas, and the dwarves Brok and Sindri are the smiths who forged Mjolnir in the original myth.

That means the richest source for original God of War characters is the mythology the games have not used yet. The Greek list here mixes the Spartan roll call (Brasidas, Dienekes, Gorgo, Kyniska) with titans, giants and minor deities the series skipped (Ophion, Porphyrion, Alke, Nemesis). The Norse list pulls Aesir and Vanir who never appeared, giants like Hrungnir and Thrym, dwarves from the Voluspa, the full roster of Valkyrie names, and saga heroes such as Starkad and Hervor, plus original bynames in the series' style (Vethild Wolfmother).

The spellings follow the games: Greek names in their Latinate or anglicized forms, Norse names with the thorn and eth simplified (Thrud, not Þrúðr) so they read cleanly.
