Natlan Name Generator

Natlan is Genshin Impact's nation of war and the Pyro Archon, and unlike Liyue or Inazuma it does not borrow from a single culture. HoYoverse built its cast from a deliberate blend of Indigenous American, Polynesian and African sources: Xilonen and Citlali are Nahuatl, Kinich comes from the Maya sun title K'inich, Chasca is the Quechua word for Venus, Mualani and Mavuika are Hawaiian and Maori, and Iansan and Ifa are Yoruba. Characters go by a single given name, usually two to four syllables, with hard consonant clusters (tl, tz, x pronounced sh, k') sitting next to open, vowel-heavy Polynesian shapes.

The six tribes each pull their look and sound from a different root. The Children of Echoes of Tezcatepetonco and the Scions of the Canopy of Huitztlan lean Mesoamerican, the People of the Springs at Meztli feel Polynesian, the Flower-Feather Clan of Tlalocan reads Andean, and the Masters of the Night-Wind in Ochkanatlan mix Nahuatl with a shamanic, nocturnal register. Saurian companions and wayob spirits get their own names, and legendary heroes like Xbalanque are lifted straight from the Popol Vuh.

This list mixes the canon roster with original names from each of those language families, plus tribe settlements, saurian species and a few divine names for worldbuilding.
