About Minecraft villager names

Villagers have no names in vanilla Minecraft, which is exactly why players give them some. A name tag renamed on an anvil and right-clicked onto a villager makes the name float over its head and, usefully, stops it despawning, so most of the names people pick do a job. In a trading hall the name tells you what the villager sells: Mending Marvin is the librarian with the Mending book, Silk Touch Sally has the pickaxe enchant, Fortune Felix, Unbreaking Ulrich and Protection Percy mark the other stalls. Outside the hall, names tend to be jokes about how villagers behave: Hmm, Mr. Hrm, Bignose, Nosey, Price Gouger Gus and Prices Up Pat.

The thirteen professions are the easiest naming hook, so this list gives several for each: farmer, fisherman, shepherd, fletcher, librarian, cleric, cartographer, armorer, weaponsmith, toolsmith, butcher, leatherworker, mason, plus the jobless nitwits. Villager clothes change with biome too, so desert villagers get names like Dune and Cactus Jack, snowy ones Frosty and Ivan the Igloo Builder, savanna ones Acacia Abe, taiga ones Spruce Sven.

The rest of the list covers zombie villagers (Zom Bob, Cured Curtis), wandering traders and their llamas, baby villagers, and the old-fashioned names that just feel right on a robed, unibrowed NPC: Ebenezer, Mildred, Bartholomew, Cletus, Winifred.

How to choose Minecraft villager names

  • In a trading hall, name each villager after its best trade (Mending Marvin, Infinity Ingrid) so you can find the right stall at a glance without opening the menu.
  • Rename the name tag on an anvil first (one level plus the tag), then right-click the villager; a named villager will never despawn, but it can still be killed or turned by zombies, so keep it fenced and lit.
  • Give biome villagers names that match their robes: desert and savanna names for sandstone and acacia villages, frost names for snowy tundra, so visitors can tell where you kidnapped them from.
  • Keep names short enough to read from a few blocks away; two or three words like Discount Dan or Cod Father read cleanly, long sentences overlap with the health bar and each other.
  • Cure a zombie villager and give it a before-and-after name (Zom Bob becomes Cured Curtis) to remember it has the permanent discount.

Frequently asked questions

How do you name a villager in Minecraft?

Put a name tag in an anvil, type the name in the text box, and pay the experience cost (one level). Then hold the renamed tag and right-click the villager. The name appears above its head and the villager will no longer despawn. Name tags come from fishing, dungeon and mineshaft chests, or Master-level librarians.

What are good names for trading hall villagers?

Name each villager after the trade you keep it for: Mending Marvin, Silk Touch Sally, Fortune Felix, Unbreaking Ulrich, Protection Percy, Infinity Ingrid, Sharpness Sharon. For non-librarians, use the profession plus a name (Fletcher Finch, Toolsmith Tobias, Cleric Clementine) or the item they sell (Golden Carrot Gus, Diamond Pick Dana).

Do villagers in Minecraft have names by default?

No. Vanilla villagers are identified only by profession, robe colour and biome, which is why players nickname them Hmm or Bignose after their sounds and faces. The only way to give one a name that shows in-game is a name tag, though some mods and datapacks assign random names automatically.

What should I name a zombie villager or wandering trader?

Zombie villagers suit undead puns until you cure them: Zom Bob, Groan Gary, Shambles, Weakness Walter, then Cured Curtis or Golden Apple Gus afterwards. Wandering traders fit drifter names like Wandering Walt, Nomad Nelly or Blue Robe Bruce, and their llamas can be named too with a second tag.
