About psyker names

Psykers in Warhammer 40,000 are named like everyone else in the Imperium, which is exactly what makes the good ones work: a sanctioned psyker is a person who was taken by the Black Ships, survived soul-binding on Terra and came back with a name that sounds like the hive or agri-world he was born on. That means Gothic, Latinate and old-European forms such as Gideon Ravenor, Patience Kys, Varro Tigurius and Mephiston, with the occasional surname that hints at the warp (Ashgrave, Hollowmind, Sevenfold). The job goes in front as a rank, not a flourish: Primaris Psyker, Sanctioned Psyker, Astropath, Epistolary, Codicier, Rune Priest, Stormseer.

Other factions sound different on purpose. Thousand Sons sorcerers take Prosperine and Egyptian-flavoured names in the Ahriman and Khayon mould, Ork Weirdboyz get a crude nickname and nothing else, Eldar Farseers and Warlocks use flowing Aeldari syllables, and the Genestealer Cult Magus hides behind a bland, respectable Imperial name.

The list below mixes a few canon characters with hundreds of original names across all of these registers, plus epithets like the Veiled or of the Black Ships and a handful of cold serial designations for psykers the Imperium never bothered to name.

How to choose psyker names

  • Lead with the rank when the character is Imperial: Primaris Psyker, Sanctioned Psyker, Astropath or Librarian in front of an otherwise ordinary Gothic name reads more 40k than a name that tries to sound magical on its own.
  • Give a psyker a surname from a specific homeworld flavour (Germanic for a Krieg-adjacent guard regiment, Latinate for a Terran or Ultramar background, Slavic for a Valhallan one) so the name says where the Black Ships found them.
  • Use an epithet sparingly and only when it has a story: the Veiled, Sevenfold, of the Black Ships. One named character with an epithet in a warband is plenty.
  • For Chaos sorcerers, pull from Egyptian and Prosperine roots for Thousand Sons and keep other legions closer to their parent chapter's naming, then add a title like Sorcerer Lord only for the leader.
  • A serial designation (Psyker Theta-Nine, Subject Epsilon-Twelve) is a great name for a Wyrdvane or a Black Ships tithe character whose identity has been erased, but do not use more than one or two per army.

Frequently asked questions

What is a psyker in Warhammer 40k?

A psyker is a human or xenos born with the ability to channel the warp. In the Imperium they are gathered by the Black Ships and either soul-bound as Astropaths, trained as Sanctioned Psykers for the Astra Militarum, inducted into Space Marine Librarius ranks, or fed to the Golden Throne. Unsanctioned psykers are hunted as witches, and Chaos sorcerers are psykers who embraced the warp.

How are psykers named in the lore?

With ordinary Imperial names. Canon examples include Gideon Ravenor, Patience Kys, Varro Tigurius, Njal Stormcaller and Mephiston. Rank or role is shown as a title: Primaris Psyker, Astropath, Epistolary, Chief Librarian, Rune Priest, Stormseer. Chaos sorcerers like Ahzek Ahriman and Iskandar Khayon use Prosperine names, Ork Weirdboyz use crude nicknames, and Eldar seers use Aeldari names.

Can I use these names for Rogue Trader, Dark Heresy or Wrath and Glory?

Yes. The Imperial names suit player psykers and Inquisitorial retinue members in any 40k tabletop RPG, the Astropath and Navigator entries fit ship crews in Rogue Trader, and the sorcerer and Weirdboy names work for antagonists. Only the handful of canon characters belong to Games Workshop; everything else is original.

Which names are canon and which are original?

Ravenor, Kys, Eisenhorn, Ahriman, Khayon, Mephiston, Tigurius, Njal Stormcaller, Ezekiel, Effernetti and Taldeer are canon characters included for reference. Every other name in the list is original and free to use for your own psyker, Librarian, sorcerer or army roster.
