Get a random god or goddess name from more than twenty pantheons: Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian, Hindu, Japanese, Aztec, Maya, Inca, Celtic, Slavic, Mesopotamian, Canaanite, Yoruba, Polynesian, Chinese, Finnish and more, each from a documented tradition you can look up. Built for worldbuilders, D&D clerics, mythology students and anyone who wants an authentic divine name.

About random god names

A god's name usually tells you what people needed from it. Zeus and Jupiter descend from the same Proto-Indo-European sky-father, Dyeus, as do Tyr and Dievas; Amaterasu means "shining in heaven"; Quetzalcoatl is the "feathered serpent"; Perun and Perkunas share a root meaning "to strike", fitting for thunder gods; Ereshkigal is "lady of the great earth", the underworld. Even the vague names carry meaning: Wakan Tanka is "the great mystery", Ahura Mazda "the wise lord", Olodumare "the owner of the source of creation".

Most pantheons repeat a small set of roles: sky father, earth mother, sun, moon, storm, sea, war, love, wisdom, craft, death, and a trickster. Once you know the role you want, you can borrow across cultures without breaking anything: a war goddess might be Sekhmet, Durga, the Morrigan, Oya or Anat, and each brings a different flavour, Egyptian lion-fire, Hindu demon-slaying, Irish crows, Yoruba storm-winds, Canaanite bloodlust. Tricksters are especially portable, from Loki and Hermes to Anansi, Coyote, Raven, Eshu and Sun Wukong.

This generator draws on real, attested deities so you can look them up and borrow their stories, symbols and holy days along with the name. The 1,000 names span dozens of traditions, Philippine, Taino, Maori, Navajo, Meitei and Ossetian among them, so a random pull may be Mokosh or Tangaroa as easily as Zeus.

How to choose random god names

  • Pick by domain first, then by culture; a random name is most useful when you already know whether you need a sea god, a hearth goddess or a trickster.
  • For fantasy worldbuilding, borrow the structure of a real pantheon (a ruling couple, a rebellious sibling, a psychopomp) and use these names as placeholders until you rename them, or keep a real one for a portal-fantasy or urban-fantasy setting.
  • Respect living traditions: Hindu, Yoruba, Shinto and many Indigenous deities are actively worshipped today, so treat them as characters rather than costumes if you use them.
  • In D&D 5e, real-world pantheons (Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Celtic) are already published options for clerics and paladins in the Player's Handbook appendix.
  • For a divine title rather than a name, combine the god's domain with an epithet in the style of real ones: Zeus Keraunos (of the thunderbolt), Athena Parthenos (maiden), Inanna of the Morning Star.

Frequently asked questions

Are these real gods or made up?

The names come from documented mythologies and religions, from the Olympians and Aesir to Yoruba orishas, Slavic gods, Polynesian atua and Mesopotamian Anunnaki. They are not invented fantasy names, though a few entries are culture heroes, deified ancestors or spirits rather than gods in the strict sense.

Which pantheons are included?

Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian, Hindu, Japanese (Shinto), Chinese, Aztec, Maya, Inca, Irish and Welsh Celtic, Gaulish, Slavic, Sumerian and Babylonian, Canaanite and Phoenician, Persian, Yoruba, Akan and Igbo, Polynesian and Hawaiian, Finnish, Turkic, Baltic, Australian Aboriginal and several Native American traditions, plus Philippine, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Meitei, Tamil, Taino, Haitian Vodou, Maori, Micronesian, Uralic, Siberian and Ossetian deities.

Can I use a real god's name for a character in my game or novel?

Yes; mythological names are in the public domain, and Rick Riordan, Neil Gaiman and the God of War games all do it. Just be thoughtful with deities from religions that are still practised.

What are the most powerful gods across mythologies?

Chief or creator gods include Zeus and Jupiter, Odin, Ra and Amun, Brahma and Vishnu, Amaterasu, Ometeotl, Viracocha, the Dagda, Perun, Marduk, Ahura Mazda, Olodumare, Tangaroa, Ukko and Tengri, each supreme in its own tradition.
