Klingon Name Generator
Warrior names worthy of the Great Houses
Generate Klingon names that follow Star Trek conventions: hard one- and two-syllable warrior names like Worf, Martok, and Gowron, glottal-apostrophe names like K'Ehleyr and L'Rell, and full lineage forms such as 'Worf, son of Mogh, of the House of Martok'. Includes canon names and new ones for your own Houses.
About Klingon names
Klingon names in Star Trek are built for shouting across a battlefield. Most canon names are one or two syllables and lean on hard sounds: Worf, Kurn, Kor, Kang, Koloth, Martok, Gowron, Duras, Kruge, Chang, Gorkon. Initial K is overwhelmingly common, followed by G, T, M, and V, and names tend to end on a stop or a rolled consonant rather than a soft vowel. When names run longer, they usually carry an apostrophe marking a glottal catch: K'Ehleyr, K'mpec, L'Rell, T'Kuvma, Nu'Daq, Ch'Pok. Female names follow the same rules (Lursa, B'Etor, Azetbur, Grilka, Sirella, L'Rell), and canon shows only a slight tendency toward -a endings for women.
What distinguishes a Klingon from a generic space warrior is the lineage formula. Klingons introduce themselves as name, son or daughter of father, and often name their House: 'Worf, son of Mogh, of the House of Martok.' The House is the political unit of the Empire, and House names are simply the founder's name (House of Duras, House of Mogh). Honor, feuds, and discommendation all attach to the House, so a full name says where a warrior stands.
In Marc Okrand's tlhIngan Hol, capitalization is phonetic (Q, S, H, I are distinct sounds), which is why you will see forms like Qo'noS and tlhIngan. Most writers use anglicized spellings for characters and keep the strict orthography for ships and vocabulary, and this list follows that practice.
How to choose Klingon names
- Keep it short and hard: one or two syllables, starting with K, G, T, M, or V, ending on a consonant, like Kurn, Martok, or Grilka.
- Add an apostrophe only to mark a glottal stop (K'Ehleyr, L'Rell), and use at most one per name; stacking them reads as parody.
- Give any significant Klingon a lineage line, 'X, son of Y' or 'X, daughter of Y', and a House, since that is how Klingons judge each other.
- Name Houses after their founder, so House of Klerath implies a warrior named Klerath in the family's past who is worth a story.
- Avoid soft, vowel-heavy names unless you are deliberately marking a character as an outsider or half-Klingon, as with Alexander or B'Elanna.
Frequently asked questions
How are Klingon names structured?
A short personal name, followed formally by parentage and House: 'Worf, son of Mogh, of the House of Martok.' Klingons do not use surnames; the House name serves that role and is inherited from the House's founder.
What do the apostrophes in Klingon names mean?
They mark a glottal stop, a brief catch in the throat, as in K'Ehleyr or L'Rell. In Marc Okrand's Klingon language the apostrophe is a real consonant, so it should be pronounced rather than treated as decoration.
Are there different Klingon names for men and women?
Barely. Canon female Klingons include Lursa, B'Etor, Azetbur, K'Ehleyr, Grilka, Sirella, and L'Rell, and they follow the same hard consonant rules as male names. A slight lean toward -a endings is the only visible pattern.
Can I use canon Klingon names like Worf or Martok in my own writing?
For fan fiction and home games, yes. For commercial work, use the original names in this list, since Worf, Martok, and other characters belong to Paramount.
