Na'vi Clan Name Generator

Na'vi clans (olo' in the language) are named with the same constructed phonology Paul Frommer built for the Avatar films, which is why Omatikaya, Metkayina, Tayrangi, Tipani and Anurai all feel like they come from one world. The sound inventory is small and distinctive: ejectives written px, tx and kx, a glottal stop marked with an apostrophe, the vowels ì and ä, and the syllabic rr and ll. There is no b, d, g or j, and words end in a vowel or in p, t, k, m, n, ng, l, r or the glottal stop. Clan names tend to run three or four syllables and most end in an open vowel, which gives them a flowing, chanted quality.

The films name the forest-dwelling Omatikaya, the reef-dwelling Metkayina, the Tayrangi ikran clan, and from Fire and Ash the volcanic Mangkwan (the Ash People) and the airborne Tlalim wind traders. Frontiers of Pandora adds the Aranahe, Zeswa, Kame'tire and the lost Sarentu, while the 2009 game gave us the Tipani, Anurai, Kekunan, Tawkami and Olangi. Clans are also described by their home and their mount: the ikran clan of the Eastern Sea, the pa'li riders of the plains. This list mixes those canon names with original ones that obey the same rules, plus a few English-style descriptors to pair with them.
