Generate realistic first-and-last names by country: authentic full names from more than fifty nationalities, from Japan, Nigeria and Brazil to Poland, Iran, Korea and Ireland, written with the spelling, name order and surname patterns each country really uses.

About nationality names

A name generator by country is only useful if the names would pass with someone from that country, so every name here pairs a first name and a surname that genuinely occur together. That means more than translating: Japanese names are given Western-order (Haruto Sato) because that is how they appear in English, while Vietnamese names keep family name first (Nguyễn Văn An) because that is the only way they are written. Icelandic surnames end in -son or -dóttir, Polish women's surnames take -ska while men's take -ski, Russian women's take -ova, and Arabic Gulf names use the Al- tribal prefix rather than a European-style surname.

The list covers Britain and Ireland (including Irish-language and Welsh forms), western and northern Europe, central and eastern Europe, the Balkans and Russia, Greece and Turkey, the Middle East and North Africa, South Asia, East and Southeast Asia, West, East and Southern Africa, Latin America, North America and Oceania, plus Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Baltics.

Use them for fiction, game characters, test data, placeholder users in app mockups or language-class role play. Spelling and diacritics were kept as they would appear in the country itself, which matters if you want a character sheet or database that looks real.

How to choose nationality names

  • Decide whether you need the local spelling or an anglicised one: Saoirse Ní Mhurchú and Sarah Murphy are the same person on two different documents, and Oleksandr Shevchenko may go by Alex abroad.
  • Respect name order: Vietnamese, Hungarian and Japanese names are family-name-first at home, but Japanese and Hungarian names are usually flipped in English while Vietnamese names are not.
  • Match the generation: Mateo and Valentina are 2010s babies in Latin America, while Rosario and Ignacio read as grandparents; pick first names from the right decade for your character's age.
  • For gendered surnames (Polish, Czech, Russian, Lithuanian, Icelandic) make sure the ending agrees with the first name, otherwise the name looks machine-made to a native speaker.
  • If you need test data, mix countries deliberately: a user table with names from twelve nationalities catches character-encoding bugs that an all-English list never will.

Frequently asked questions

Which countries are included in this name generator?

More than sixty: England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Russia, Ukraine, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, Iran, Lebanon and Jordan, Morocco and Algeria, Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Tibet, Mongolia, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Tonga and Samoa, plus Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia and Lithuania.

Are these the names of real people?

No. Each name combines a common first name and a common surname from the same country in a realistic way, but none refers to a specific living person. Because the components are common, someone somewhere probably shares the name, just as with any realistic name.

Can I tell which country a name is from?

Names are not labelled by country, but diacritics and surname endings are strong clues: -sen is Danish or Norwegian, -sson Swedish, -ski or -ska Polish, -escu Romanian, -ić Croatian or Serbian, -yan Armenian, -as or -aitė Lithuanian, -dze or -shvili Georgian, and Al- plus a tribal name is Gulf Arabic.

What are these names good for?

Novels and screenplays with international casts, NPCs in modern-day games, realistic dummy data for apps and spreadsheets, example names in lessons and slide decks, and checking that forms, fonts and databases handle accented characters and multi-word surnames correctly.
