Salarian Name Generator

Salarian names in Mass Effect are short, quick and consonant-heavy, which suits a species that talks fast and lives about forty years. A given name is usually two syllables with a hard stop or cluster somewhere in it (Mordin, Padok, Jondum, Maelon, Zevin, Kallo, Jarun), and it is followed by a clan name that is equally clipped: Solus, Wiks, Bau, Heplorn, Raeka, Jath, Tann. Single names are common for minor characters, and many read as a surname on its own (Kirrahe, Chorban, Anoleis, Schells, Valern).

The part most fans remember is the full lineage name. Salarians list their homeworld, nation, city, district, clan and finally their given name, so Mordin's complete name is Gorot II Heranon Mal Dinest Got Inoste Ehanns Mordin Solus and he simply goes by the last two words. Female salarians are rare and usually hold political rank, so their names almost always appear with the title Dalatrass (Linron, Esheel). Military salarians carry STG ranks like Captain or Major, and the Council's Spectre Jondum Bau shows the name works with Citadel titles too.

The list mixes canon characters with original given-plus-clan names, standalone clan and place names, a few titled officers and politicians, and complete lineage strings you can trim down to a usable two-word name.
