Satyr Name Generator

Satyrs are the goat-legged, wine-loving companions of Dionysus, and their names come mostly from two sources: labels painted next to satyrs on Greek vases (Simos 'snub-nose', Komos 'revel', Skirtos 'leaper', Hedyoinos 'sweet-wine', Terpon 'delighter') and the roll call of Dionysus's army in Nonnus's Dionysiaca (Astraios, Maron, Leneus, Pherespondos, Petraios, Lykon, Napaios). A handful of satyrs earned their own myths: Marsyas the piper who challenged Apollo, Silenus the drunken tutor, and Ampelos, the youth who became the grapevine.

The pattern is clear once you see it. Satyr names are short Greek words for what the creature does, drinks, or looks like: dance (Choreutes, Sikinnis, Kordax), wine and cups (Kantharos, Methysos, Botrys), goatishness (Tragos, Kerastes, Aigon), the ivy and fawn skin of Dionysian ritual (Kissophoros, Nebrides, Thyrsophoros), and the wild places they haunt (Oreios, Drymos, Hylaios). Roman fauns follow Faunus and Silvanus with softer Latin forms.

For tabletop play, these Greek-derived names match how D&D and Pathfinder present satyrs, and they sit comfortably alongside nymphs, dryads, and centaurs. Female satyrs are rare in ancient art but common in modern fantasy, so a few Greek feminine forms (Bakchis, Ampelia, Thyrsa) are included for that use.
