About planet names

Real planets and moons are almost never named at random. Most of the planets carry the names of Roman gods, the moons of Uranus are Shakespearean characters, and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn are lovers, nymphs and Titans from Greek myth. Bright stars keep Arabic names given by medieval astronomers: Aldebaran means 'the follower', Fomalhaut 'the mouth of the fish', Algol 'the demon's head'.

Each name below comes with a short meaning. Treat the meanings as invented for fiction: they have not been checked against dictionaries of any language, and many names are new coinages whose meaning was made up along with them. Some are straight Latin (Ferrum, iron; Gelida, frozen), some are Greek personifications (Ananke, necessity; Aletheia, truth), and some are mythical lands (Aztlan, Shambhala, Tir na nOg). Others come from constellations, asteroids and dwarf planets, the Latin of Moon and Mars maps (Mare Nubium, Sea of Clouds), Finnish, Slavic and Polynesian myth, and the names other languages give the planets. Suffixes such as Prime, Nova, Minor and Secundus let one root name populate a whole star system.

A good planet name is pronounceable, distinct from its neighbours, and suggestive of what a traveller would find there: an ocean world called Thalassa or a mining colony called Cuprion tells the reader something before any description.

How to choose planet names

  • Choose the meaning first, then the name: decide whether the world is a desert, an ice giant or a farming colony and pick a root that quietly signals it, so the name does exposition for you.
  • Build a system, not just a planet, by reusing one root with astronomical suffixes (Aurelia, Aurelia Minor, Aurelia Secundus), which mirrors how real exoplanets and moons are catalogued.
  • Vary the source language across your setting so a reader can tell factions or eras apart: Latin for an old empire, Arabic star names for navigators, mythic lands for lost or legendary worlds.
  • Say the name aloud with a common noun after it ('the Verdantis colonies', 'the Erebus blockade'); if it stumbles or rhymes awkwardly, pick another.
  • Avoid names that are already famous fictional planets or major real bodies unless the reference is deliberate; obscure moons like Elara or Himalia are fair game and sound convincingly astronomical.

Frequently asked questions

Where do real planet names come from?

The classical planets are named for Roman gods (Mars, Venus, Jupiter), most moons for figures connected to that god in Greek myth, and the moons of Uranus for Shakespeare and Pope characters. Many bright stars have Arabic names, and modern exoplanets get catalogue designations like Kepler-186f unless the IAU runs a public naming contest.

Are the meanings in this generator accurate?

Treat them as invented for fiction. The names and meanings have not been checked against dictionaries of Latin, Greek, Arabic or any other language, or against the mythologies they borrow from. Many entries borrow a familiar root or a well-known star or myth name, and others (like Terravox) are new coinages whose meaning was made up along with the name. If accuracy matters, for example if you plan to present a name as real Latin, look the word up first.

Can I use these planet names in a published novel or game?

Names built from Latin, Greek and mythology are not protected by copyright, so you can use them freely. It is still worth searching a name before you commit, since a handful of roots (like Arcadia or Elysium) are widely used in existing games and films.

How do I make a planet name sound scientific rather than fantasy?

Add a catalogue-style suffix or designation (Kepler-style numbers, Roman numerals, or words like Prime, Minor and b/c/d) and lean toward Latin roots or star names. Softer mythic roots such as Avalon or Shambhala read as fantasy; Ferrum IV or Achernar Prime reads as hard sci-fi.
