Generate rougarou names for the werewolf of Cajun folklore and the cursed people behind it: what the neighbors call the beast, like Old Roux of the Cypress Brake and Le Loup de Minuit, cursed bayou folk like Odile Fontenot the Lent-Breaker, and short beast names like Mudfang and Mossback.

About rougarou names

The rougarou is the werewolf of Cajun folklore in south Louisiana: a cursed person who prowls the bayous and cane fields at night, usually pictured with a human body and the head of a wolf or dog. The word is a Louisiana French turn on loup-garou, and a related rugaru is told among Métis and other Native communities farther north. The tale changes with the teller. In some versions the curse falls on a Catholic who breaks Lent seven years running; in others it lasts a hundred and one days and passes to the next person whose blood the creature draws.

That gives a rougarou three kinds of name, and this list mixes them. First, the person under the curse: a Cajun French given name and a south Louisiana surname with a mark of the legend, such as Odile Fontenot the Lent-Breaker or Alcide 'Greycoat' Trahan. Second, what the neighbors call the beast, in English or Louisiana French: Old Roux of the Cypress Brake, The Lenten Wolf, Le Loup de Minuit, Gris-Gris Jack. Third, short beast names for a stat block or a campfire: Mudfang, Mossback, Cypress Howl.

Female rougarous, storyteller nicknames, tabletop character titles and a few campfire jokes fill out the rest. Bayous and parishes appear only as settings for fiction; no name here records a sighting.

How to choose rougarou names

  • Decide who is speaking. A frightened neighbor says Old Roux of the Cypress Brake, the family says Poor Placide, and a game master's stat block says Mudfang. Give one creature a name of each kind and reveal them in that order.
  • Use the Lent and broken-vow names when the curse is a punishment in your story, and the blood-passed names (The Passed-Along Curse, The Next Man's Burden) when it spreads like a contagion. Tellers disagree on which it is, so either is fair.
  • Mind the French before you coin your own. Loup is masculine and louve feminine, bête is always feminine (la bête), and the possessive with à, as in Le Loup à Pépère, is ordinary Louisiana French.
  • Tie the beast to a small, specific spot: a turnrow, a shell road, a pumping station, the back levee. A name that knows the landscape sounds like a story people actually tell.
  • Treat the source with respect. The rougarou belongs to living Cajun, Creole and Native storytelling, so skip fake dialect spellings and made-up 'Native' words. A plain epithet is scarier anyway.

Frequently asked questions

What is a rougarou?

It is the werewolf of Cajun folklore in south Louisiana, usually described as a person under a curse who walks at night with the head of a wolf or dog. The name comes from the French loup-garou. Details such as how the curse starts and how long it lasts differ from one storyteller to the next.

How do you spell rougarou?

Rougarou is the most common Louisiana spelling, and you will also see roux-ga-roux, rugaru and the older French loup-garou. This list keeps to rougarou and uses the other spellings only inside a handful of nicknames and epithets, such as Jack Roux-Ga-Roux, Johnny Rugaru and Le Loup-Garou de l'Anse.

What are good names for a female rougarou?

Look for the feminine French forms and the women's names with epithets: Clothilde 'La Louve' Arceneaux, Célestine Trahan the Moon-Widow, La Rôdeuse de Minuit, Tante Louve and The Grey Lady of the Reeds are all in the list. In French the she-wolf is la louve, so La Louve du Carême works where Le Loup would not.

Can I use these names for a D&D or tabletop rougarou?

Yes. Short names like Mudfang, Rouxfang and Siltjaw suit a stat block, titles like The Penitent Ranger and Warden of the Black Bayou suit a player character under the curse, and the locals' names work as rumors at the table. They are written in the style of the legend for your own characters, not as characters from any published game or show.
