Ossetian Name Generator
Nart saga names and Ossetian family names
Get Ossetian names from the central Caucasus: given names from the Nart sagas and from everyday use, such as Uruzmag, Khetag, Agunda and Zarina, with Ossetian surnames. Full names come in the Russian form, like Irbek Andiev and Zalina Tsomartova, and in the native form with the family name first, like Tuganty Mairam.
About Ossetian names
The Ossetians live on both sides of the main Caucasus ridge and speak an Iranian language descended from that of the medieval Alans. Their oldest stock of names comes from the Nart sagas, the heroic epic of the region: Soslan, Batraz, Uruzmag, Khamits and the flute player Atsamaz for men, the wise Satana, Dzerassa and Agunda for women. Beside them stand everyday names such as Khetag, Alan, Kazbek, Taimuraz, Zaur, Zarina and Zalina, and a small share of names heard all over the Caucasus, such as Aslan and Madina.
An Ossetian surname exists in two forms. The native one is a plural of the family's name, ending in -ty in the Iron dialect and -ti in Digor, and it stands before the given name, as in Tuganty Mairam or Khadartsaty Zarina. It is the same for men and women. The official Russian form ends in -ov or -ev, follows the given name and takes -ova or -eva for a woman, as in Irbek Andiev and Madina Andieva. Russian documents add a patronymic, as in Khetag Akhsarovich Maliev.
Native forms are not made by swapping endings, so only part of the surnames here appear in the native form. The rest are given in the Russian form.
How to choose Ossetian names
- Keep to one surname form in a text. The native form suits a story told among Ossetian speakers, and the Russian form is what a passport, a team sheet or a news report would show.
- Give brothers and sisters the same patronymic. Khetag Akhsarovich and Zarina Akhsarovna are at once the son and the daughter of a man called Akhsar.
- Let a Nart name say something about a character. Soslan and Batraz are warriors in the sagas, Atsamaz is the musician and Satana is the wise woman everyone turns to.
- For a woman, change -ov to -ova and -ev to -eva in the Russian form and leave the native form alone: Zalina Tsomartova, but Tsomartaty Fariza.
- Expect other spellings in English, such as Batradz for Batraz or Taymuraz for Taimuraz. Choose one and keep it.
Frequently asked questions
What are the Nart sagas?
They are a cycle of heroic tales told by several peoples of the North Caucasus, and the Ossetian versions are among the best known. Ossetian parents still give their children the names of its heroes and heroines. In this list they include Soslan, Uruzmag, Atsamaz, Akhsartag, Satana, Dzerassa and Agunda.
Why do some names here put the family name first?
That is the order of the Ossetian language. The native form of a surname is a plural that means roughly of the family, and the given name follows it, as in Gergity Makharbek and Kozaty Satana. Names in the Russian form use the usual order with the surname last.
What is the difference between Tedeev and Tedety?
They are the same family name. Tedety is the native Ossetian form and Tedeev is the form used in Russian documents, with Tedeeva for a woman. In this list Tedety Dzerassa uses the native form and Diana Kermenovna Tedeeva the Russian one with a patronymic.
Are these the names of real people?
The given names and surnames are ones in real use among Ossetians, and they are paired at random to make full names. Many Ossetian surnames are known abroad through one athlete, musician or writer, so the list leaves out the pairings we know to be the names of public figures. Any realistic name can still match a living person by chance, so search a name before you publish it.
