Generate moon goddess names drawn from real mythology and built for new ones: Selene, Hecate, Chang'e, Mama Killa, Ix Chel, Mawu and Hina alongside their cult epithets, plus original names with authentic lunar roots in Greek, Celtic, Norse, Sanskrit, Arabic, Nahuatl and other languages. Ideal for fantasy pantheons, D&D clerics, witchy usernames, and moon-themed characters.

About moon goddess names

Almost every culture personified the moon, and in most of them the moon was female. The Greeks had three: Selene, the Titan who drove the moon chariot; Artemis, the huntress who absorbed her role; and Hecate, goddess of the dark moon and the crossroads. Rome answered with Luna and Diana. Elsewhere the moon goddess was Chang'e in China, Mama Killa to the Inca, Coyolxauhqui and Metztli in Mexico, Ix Chel for the Maya, Hina across Polynesia, Mawu among the Fon, Arianrhod in Wales, Kuutar in Finland and Ngame among the Akan. Many of these names simply mean moon or bright one in their own language.

Goddesses also carried epithets, and those titles are a rich source of names in their own right: Artemis Phosphoros (light-bringer), Hecate Kleidouchos (key-holder), Diana Lucina (she who brings to light), Luna Noctiluca (night-shining). For an original pantheon, the same method works: take a word for moon, silver, night or tide in the language your culture borrows from and shape it into a name.

This list keeps historical goddesses, their cult titles, original names with real lunar roots (Plenilune, Lleuwen, Yarikha, Killari, Mahinalani), and English epithets such as the Pale Lady and Mother of Tides, so you can match the name to the kind of world you are building.

How to choose moon goddess names

Decide which face of the moon your goddess shows: bright maiden (Selene, Phoebe), huntress (Artemis, Diana), or dark-moon witch (Hecate, Ereshkigal), and choose a name whose sound matches that register.
For a fantasy pantheon, borrow the phonology of one real culture and stay with it; a Greek-sounding Selanthe and a Welsh-sounding Lleuwen should not sit in the same temple unless your world explains why.
Pair a given name with an epithet in-world (Hecate Kleidouchos, Our Lady of the Tides) so worshippers, priests, and poets can refer to her in different ways, exactly as ancient cults did.
If you want a name that quietly means moon, use a real root: Lleuad and Lloer (Welsh), Gealach (Irish), Killa (Quechua), Mahina (Hawaiian), Qamar and Badr (Arabic), Chandra and Indu (Sanskrit), Tungl and Máni (Old Norse).
Check living religions before using a name for a villain or a joke; Chang'e, Mama Killa, Ix Chel, and Mawu are still honored, so treat them with the same care you would give a saint.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the most famous moon goddesses?

Selene, Artemis and Hecate from Greek myth, Luna and Diana from Rome, Chang'e in Chinese tradition, Mama Killa of the Inca, Ix Chel of the Maya, Coyolxauhqui of the Aztecs, Hina in Polynesia, Arianrhod in Wales and Mawu among the Fon of Benin. Hindu tradition makes the moon male (Chandra) but gives him lunar-phase wives such as Rohini, Anumati and Sinivali.

What names mean moon goddess or moon?

Selene and Mene mean moon in Greek, Luna in Latin, Lleuad and Lloer in Welsh, Gealach in Irish, Killa in Quechua, Mahina in Hawaiian, Qamar and Badr in Arabic, Chandra, Indu and Soma in Sanskrit, Tsuki in Japanese, Yue in Chinese, Dal in Korean, Ay in Turkish and Mah in Persian. Given names such as Killari, Mahinalani, Aylin, Mahtab, Chandni and Tsukiko are built from those roots.

Can I use these names for a D&D deity or a fantasy novel?

Yes. Historical goddesses are public domain, and the invented names in the list are free to use. For a game setting, the original names such as Ilvane, Sethrane or Vesmira avoid confusion with real religions and existing game pantheons, while an epithet like Lady of the Thirteen Moons works well as a cleric's title for the same goddess.

What is the difference between Selene, Artemis and Hecate?

Selene is the moon itself as a goddess, older than the Olympians and rarely worshipped with temples. Artemis is the huntress who came to be identified with the moon in later poetry, and Hecate rules the dark of the moon, magic and crossroads. Roman and later writers merged them into a triple goddess, which is why the maiden, mother and crone scheme still appears in modern paganism.
