Pegasus Name Generator
Winged horse names from myth and sky
Generate names for pegasi and other winged horses, from the Greek originals (Pegasus, Arion, Aethon, the steeds of Helios and the Dioscuri) to Greek-rooted coinages, star names, Norse sky steeds, named winds and sky-themed fantasy names. Ideal for novels, D&D mounts, Wings of Fire style OCs and My Little Pony fan characters.
About pegasus names
Pegasus was a single named horse before he became a species. Born from the neck of Medusa when Perseus struck off her head, he struck the ground with his hoof to create the Hippocrene spring on Mount Helikon, carried Bellerophon against the Chimera, and was finally set among the stars by Zeus. His name probably comes from pege, "spring", which is why so many good winged-horse names still point to water, sky and light. Greek myth supplies plenty of other divine steeds too: Arion the swift horse of Adrastus, Aethon and Phlegon who drew the chariot of the Sun, and Balius and Xanthus the immortal horses of Achilles.
A convincing pegasus name usually does one of three things. It borrows directly from Greek (Aella "whirlwind", Zephyros the west wind, Nephele "cloud", Chryse "golden"), it takes a star or constellation name (Altair, Vega, Markab and Enif are actual stars in the constellation Pegasus), or it uses the English compound style familiar from fantasy fiction and My Little Pony, where a sky word meets a horse word: Cloudmane, Stormcrest, Silverhoof.
Horse-word roots are worth knowing because the Greeks used them constantly: hippos means horse, so Leukippe is "white horse", Melanippe "black horse", Chrysippe "golden horse" and Xanthippe "bay horse", all real names from myth and history that fit a mount perfectly.
How to choose pegasus names
- Match the name to coat and temperament: a white mare might be Leuke, Nivea or Alba, a golden one Palomino or Heliodor, while a fiery chestnut stallion suits Aethon, Pyrois or Phlegon.
- For a mount in a Greek-flavored setting, prefer Greek forms and avoid English compounds; for a northern saga the Norse steeds (Sleipnir, Gullfaxi, Hofvarpnir) fit; for a modern fantasy or MLP-style character, the compound names (Windsong, Cloudhoof) feel more at home.
- Real stars in the constellation Pegasus (Markab, Scheat, Enif, Algenib, Matar, Homam, Baham, Sadalbari) give a subtle nod that mythology fans will notice.
- If the pegasus belongs to a rider, pair their names: a rider named Bellerophon or Perseus feels complete beside a horse called Chrysaor or Andromeda.
- Two-syllable names with a strong open vowel (Aella, Nova, Vega, Boreas) are easiest to shout across a battlefield or read aloud in a children's story.
Frequently asked questions
Did Pegasus have a name in Greek mythology, or is Pegasus the species?
In Greek myth Pegasus (Pegasos) is one specific immortal winged horse, the child of Poseidon and Medusa. Using "pegasus" as a species name for any winged horse is a later fantasy convention, which is why these names work for both.
What are good names for a female pegasus?
Greek feminine forms end in -a or -e: Aella, Nephele, Leukippe, Chryse, Asteria, Kalliste. Star names such as Vega, Alcyone, Maia and Electra also read as feminine, as do soft compounds like Moonfeather and Snowfeather.
Are these names suitable for My Little Pony or Wings of Fire OCs?
Yes. The compound names (Skydancer, Cloudrunner, Stormcrest, Sunbeam) follow the same pattern MLP uses for pegasus ponies, while the Greek and star names work well for more serious fantasy settings.
Can I use these names commercially?
Names from myth, star names and ordinary words are free for anyone to use in stories and games. We have not checked any name against trademarks, so look one up before you put it on a product or a brand.
