Generate names that belong in Liyue: the canon cast from Zhongli to Lan Yan, adepti and yaksha titles, and hundreds of original Chinese-style names built on the same conventions for your Genshin Impact OCs, fan fiction and roleplay.

About Liyue names

Liyue is Genshin Impact's nation of contracts and commerce, and HoYoverse built its naming on real Chinese conventions written in pinyin without tone marks. Most playable characters go by a two-syllable given name alone (Ningguang, Keqing, Xiangling, Xingqiu, Chongyun, Yanfei, Shenhe, Yelan), while a few carry a surname first in the Chinese order: Hu Tao, Yun Jin, Lan Yan. The syllables are chosen for meaning as much as sound. Ganyu is sweet dew, Xiangling is fragrant bell, Qiqi is seven-seven, and a pile of Liyue names lean on clouds, jade, mist, cranes, plum blossoms and mountains.

Adepti and gods follow a separate register. Illuminated beasts are known by descriptive English titles (Cloud Retainer, Moon Carver, Mountain Shaper, Streetward Rambler), the yaksha carry Sanskrit-flavored names (Alatus, Bosacius, Indarias, Bonanus, Menogias), and the Geo Archon stacks titles and aliases: Morax, Rex Lapis, Zhongli. Ordinary citizens often get doubled or diminutive names like Changchang, Ying'er and Shitou, and elders take kinship labels such as Uncle Tian and Granny Ruoxin.

This list mixes the canon roster and well-known NPCs with original names that follow the same rules: single pinyin given names, full surname-first names, and adeptus-style epithets for illuminated beasts and yaksha of your own.

How to choose Liyue names

For a playable-style Liyue OC, pick a two-syllable given name and use it alone; only add a surname (Hu, Yun, Lan, Gu, Shen, Xu) if you want the character to feel more formal or old-fashioned.
Check the meaning of each syllable before committing. Characters for jade (yu), cloud (yun), mist (yan), crane (he), plum (mei), moon (yue) and mountain (shan) sound native to Liyue; avoid syllables that read as Japanese or Korean romanization.
Adepti should not have human names. Give them a two-word English title describing what they guard or do, and optionally a Sanskrit-style true name if they are a yaksha.
Keep surnames in front and do not hyphenate or add apostrophes except where a syllable break is ambiguous, as in Ying'er, Wang'ya and Huai'an.
If your OC works for a Liyue institution, match the name to the setting: Qixing staff and Feiyun Commerce Guild merchants read wealthy and polished, while Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and Bubu Pharmacy characters suit quieter, stranger names.

Frequently asked questions

How are Liyue names different from other Genshin nations?

Liyue uses Chinese names written in pinyin, so they are short, surname-first when a surname appears, and built from meaningful syllables. Mondstadt uses German and Nordic names, Inazuma Japanese, Sumeru Persian and Indian, Fontaine French, so a Liyue character can usually be identified by name alone.

Why do some Liyue characters have surnames and others do not?

Most playable characters are introduced by given name only (Keqing, Ganyu, Xiao), which keeps names snappy. Hu Tao, Yun Jin and Lan Yan are written surname-first because their family names matter to their stories: the Hu family runs Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and Yun Jin's family founded the Yun-Han Opera Troupe.

What should I name a Liyue adeptus or yaksha OC?

Adepti in canon use descriptive titles such as Cloud Retainer and Moon Carver rather than human names, and yaksha use Sanskrit-derived names like Alatus and Bosacius. The epithet section of this generator follows that pattern, so pair a title with an animal form and a domain in Jueyun Karst.

Can I use these names for a Genshin OC I post publicly?

The original names are free to use. The canon names belong to HoYoverse's characters, so use them as reference or for fan works about those characters rather than naming a new OC Ningguang or Zhongli.
