Generate salarian names that sound like they came out of Sur'Kesh: clipped given names, clan names like Solus and Wiks, full lineage names with homeworld and city, and canon characters from the Mass Effect trilogy and Andromeda.

About salarian names

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.

How to choose salarian names

Keep given names to one or two syllables with at least one hard consonant (k, t, d, r); soft, vowel-heavy names read as asari, and long guttural ones read as krogan.
Clan names are shared across relatives, so reuse Solus, Wiks or an original clan for a family and vary only the given name.
For a formal introduction or a dossier, build a full lineage name from largest to smallest (homeworld, nation, city, district, clan, given name) and have other characters shorten it immediately, as Mordin does.
If the character is female, she is almost certainly a dalatrass or a future one; put the title first and consider a slightly longer clan name like Linron or Esheel.
Double consonants (Kirrahe, Rentola, Schells) look authentically salarian in writing, but say the name aloud to make sure it still fires off quickly.

Frequently asked questions

What is Mordin Solus's full name?

Gorot II Heranon Mal Dinest Got Inoste Ehanns Mordin Solus. Salarian names run from homeworld down to the individual, so Gorot II is his planet, Solus his clan and Mordin his given name. Most salarians use only the final two words in daily life.

Which salarian names are canon from Mass Effect?

Mordin Solus, Captain Kirrahe, Padok Wiks, Jondum Bau, Dalatrass Linron, Councilor Valern, Chorban, Anoleis, Maelon Heplorn, Ish, Schells, Rentola, Ganto Imness, Jaroth and Dr. Saleon appear in the trilogy; Jarun Tann, Kallo Jath, Zevin Raeka and Lumont Hayjer are from Andromeda. The rest of the list is original.

How are female salarians named?

Female salarians are about ten percent of the population and mostly hold political office, so in the games they are always introduced with the title Dalatrass followed by a name like Linron or Esheel. Original female names here follow the same shape and work with or without the title.

Can I use these names for a Mass Effect fanfic or tabletop game?

Yes. The original names are free to use anywhere. Canon character and place names belong to BioWare and EA and are included as reference points for the naming style.
