Pagan Name Generator

Modern pagans take names from three main wells. The first is the old gods themselves: Brigid, Cernunnos, Freyja, Perun, Mielikki, Hecate, Bastet. Using a deity's name directly is common in Wicca and eclectic paths, while reconstructionist heathens and Celtic polytheists usually prefer a human name from the culture they follow, on the grounds that you honor a god rather than borrow their name. The second well is the pre-Christian personal names of northern Europe: Aelfwynn and Wulfstan from Anglo-Saxon England, Gunnhild and Thorfinn from the Norse world, Aoife and Lorcan from Ireland, Angharad and Bleddyn from Wales, Dobrava and Yaroslav from the Slavic lands.

The third well is the craft name, a nature word or two-part name taken at initiation or dedication and often used only in circle: Rowan, Vervain, Moonhare, Stormcrow, Tamsin Hollowell. Traditional craft names pair a tree, herb, stone, bird or animal with a place or weather word, and the best ones feel personal rather than grand. Titles like Lady or Lord were once attached to craft names in Gardnerian and Alexandrian lines, but most solitary practitioners now leave them off.

This generator mixes all three, whether you need a goddess name for a dedication, a Viking-age name for a blot, or a quiet plant name for a book of shadows.
