Protoss Name Generator
Khalai, Nerazim and Tal'darim names for StarCraft
Generate Protoss names in the style of StarCraft: Khalai names like Tezalis and Meradul, titled forms like Executor Tavaris and Praetor Kalthun, plus harsher Nerazim and Tal'darim names such as Morazul and Zha'rak.
About Protoss names
Protoss names from StarCraft have a calm, formal sound: two or three open syllables, clear vowels and a firm ending. The best-known names show the pattern: Artanis, Tassadar, Zeratul, Selendis, Karax, Vorazun, Fenix, Aldaris, Raszagal and Rohana. Those ten are in the list as a reference for the sound. The other 490 entries are new names in the same style for your own characters, fleets and stories.
Most of the list is bare names with endings such as -is, -ar, -ul, -as, -un and -ix (Tezalis, Selunar, Meradul, Zenarix), plus a group that leans feminine with -ara, -endis and -una (Talessara, Kalendis). Two smaller groups are rougher on purpose. Nerazim-flavored names for Dark Templar characters use z, zh and r (Morazul, Vezhagal), and Tal'darim-flavored names are clipped and hard, often with an apostrophe (Zha'rak, Kuronak).
The rest add context. Titled forms carry a rank such as Executor, Praetor, Judicator, Hierarch, Matriarch or Prelate. Tribe names follow the pattern of Selumar of the Akilae. Epithets read like Kethar the Far-Seer, and a short run names carriers, arkships and strongholds. Titles are kept to a small share, so add one yourself when a bare name needs a role.
How to choose Protoss names
- Say the name slowly. A Protoss name should hold up at a measured pace: Me-ra-dul, Se-lu-nar. If it only works when rushed, pick another.
- Choose the ending for the character. In this list -is and -ara read lighter, -ul and -un heavier, and -ix sharper.
- Match the group to the faction: smooth Khalai names for templar and judicators, z-heavy names like Morazul for Nerazim, clipped, hard names like Kuronak for Tal'darim.
- Use one marker, not three. Executor Tavaris or Selumar of the Akilae is enough; a rank, a tribe and an epithet on one character reads like a paragraph.
- For a player handle, start from the short bare names such as Jalix or Velis, which fit most name fields.
Frequently asked questions
What do Protoss names sound like?
Measured and dignified: two or three open syllables with a firm ending such as -is, -ar, -ul, -as, -un or -ix. Tezalis, Selunar, Meradul and Zenarix from this list are typical.
Are these names from StarCraft?
Ten of the 500 are well-known names from the games, kept as a reference for the sound: Artanis, Tassadar, Zeratul, Selendis, Karax, Vorazun, Fenix, Aldaris, Raszagal and Rohana. The other 490 are new names in that style. This site has no connection to the game or its publisher, and a new name may by chance match a minor character, so search before you commit to one.
How do the Khalai, Nerazim and Tal'darim names in the list differ?
Khalai-style names are the smooth majority, such as Koradis and Talessara. Nerazim-style names are darker and heavy on z and zh, such as Morazul and Vezhagal. Tal'darim-style names are the hardest in sound, often with an apostrophe, such as Zha'rak and Ma'vosh.
Which Protoss titles does the list use?
Executor, Praetor, Judicator, Hierarch, Matriarch and Prelate, with a few Preservers, High Templar, Dark Templar, Phase-smiths and the Tal'darim ranks Highlord and Ascendant. Examples are Executor Tavaris, Praetor Kalthun and Matriarch Zerunara. About one name in eight carries a title, so most entries stand without one.
