He-Man and Masters of the Universe names: a canon block from He-Man and Skeletor to She-Ra, then new names in the toy-card style, such as Anvil Man, Guard-At-Gate, Gnashor, Hissfit, Shimmera and Castle Ironhelm.

About He-Man names

Masters of the Universe names say what the figure does, the way the toy card did. The commonest recipe is a gimmick plus Man or an ending in -or: He-Man, Beast Man, Mer-Man, Ram Man, Moss Man, Skeletor, Spikor, Rattlor. Others are hyphenated phrases, such as Man-At-Arms, Man-E-Faces, Tri-Klops and Buzz-Off, or puns on a body part or a tool, such as Mekaneck, Clawful, Whiplash, Webstor and Roboto. Snake Men hiss (King Hiss, Tung Lashor), and on She-Ra's Etheria a princess is a quality with a feminine ending: Glimmer, Frosta, Perfuma, Mermista, Castaspella.

A little over a quarter of the list is canon: characters, steeds, vehicles and places from the toy line, the animated series and She-Ra. They are names only and not a full roster.

Everything else is new and written in the style: Heroic Warriors (Anvil Man, Guard-At-Gate), Evil Warriors (Gnashor, Boarbarian), Horde troops (Siphonak), Snake Men (Hissfit, Coilor), Etherian princesses and rebels (Shimmera, Aquarella), steeds and beasts (Iron Elk), fortresses such as Castle Ironhelm, and royal and civilian Eternians with plain names in the vein of Adam, Randor and Marlena, such as Queen Elara.

How to choose He-Man names

  • Start with the gimmick, as a toy designer would: what does the figure do when you press the button? A hero who raises a gate is Guard-At-Gate; a villain who bites is Gnashor.
  • Pick the ending by the side. Plain Man names and job titles read heroic, a hard -or or a K where a C should be reads evil (Krushor, Krokk), and a run of S marks a Snake Man (Sssliver).
  • For Etheria, take a gentle quality or a thing that sparkles and add -a, -ella or -ina: Shimmera, Emberella, Petalina.
  • Keep the gimmick kind. The old toy line named some figures for a smell or a body part; the new names here stay with tools, animals, weather and jobs.
  • Give a fortress a side as well: Castle and Palace for heroes (Castle Brightspire), Spire, Hollow and Marsh for villains (Skull Spire, Doom Hollow).

Frequently asked questions

Which names on this page are canon?

A little over a quarter of the list: heroes such as He-Man, Man-At-Arms, Teela, Orko and Stratos, villains such as Skeletor, Evil-Lyn, Trap Jaw, Hordak and King Hiss, She-Ra and her friends, steeds such as Battle Cat, Panthor and Swift Wind, and places such as Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain. They are given as names only and are not a full roster of the toy line or the series. Everything else is new and written in the same style, and this fan page has no link to the toy maker.

How are Masters of the Universe characters named?

Most names state the gimmick. A thing plus Man gives Ram Man and Moss Man, a hard ending gives Skeletor and Webstor, and a hyphenated phrase gives Man-At-Arms and Buzz-Off. The new names follow the same three habits, as in Lantern Man, Wrenchor and Watch-On-Wall.

What are good names for a new Snake Man or Horde villain?

Snake Men take a snake word with a hiss or a hard ending: Sidewynd, Boa-Krush, Constriktor, Lord Sssquall and Hissfit are new names from this list. Horde troops sound like pests and machines, as in Gnatlor, Siphonak and Scrapjaw, or carry a rank, as in Force Captain Krale. They are new names written for this list in the style of the toy line.

How do She-Ra princess names work?

In the original series a princess is usually named for her power or her nature with a feminine ending, as in Frosta, Perfuma, Mermista and Castaspella. The new Etherian names here do the same with other qualities: Shimmera, Tidella, Starletta, Aquarella and Lullabelle. Rebels who are not princesses get short plain names in the manner of Bow, such as Quiver and Sprig.
