Satyr Name Generator
Greek satyr and faun names for revelers and pipers
Generate satyr names rooted in Greek myth, from named satyrs on Attic vases (Simos, Komos, Skirtos) and the followers of Dionysus in the Dionysiaca to Roman fauns and Greek-styled originals. Suits D&D and Pathfinder satyrs, Percy Jackson fan characters, and mythic fantasy.
About satyr names
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. The list holds the Pans of the Dionysiaca (Argennon, Daphoineus), herdsmen from pastoral poetry (Korydon, Menalkas), animals, wine lands, night-revel torches and stars, and satyr-play words.
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 Greek feminine forms (Bakchis, Ampelia, Thyrsa) and maenad names are included for that use.
How to choose satyr names
- Pick a name that describes one trait, the way ancient painters did: Simos for a snub nose, Skirtos for a dancer, Methysos for a drunk, Kerastes for big horns.
- Names ending in -os, -on, or -es read as Greek; swap to -us and -a (Silvanus, Faunilla) if your setting is Roman or your satyr is really a faun.
- For a D&D satyr, pair the mythic name with an instrument or vice as a hook (Aulos the piper, Kantharos who never puts down his cup) so the name does character work.
- A satyr troupe or thiasos sounds more cohesive if the names share a theme, such as all wine words or all dance words.
- Save the famous names (Pan, Silenus, Marsyas) for legendary NPCs and use the vase-painting names for rank-and-file revelers.
Frequently asked questions
What were satyrs actually called in Greek mythology?
Named satyrs on vases include Simos, Komos, Skirtos, Terpon, Hedyoinos, Dromis, and Molkos, and Nonnus lists dozens more such as Astraios, Maron, Leneus, and Pherespondos. Marsyas, Silenus, and Ampelos are the best-known individual satyrs.
Are satyrs and fauns the same thing?
Not quite. Satyrs are Greek and were originally horse-tailed men who became goat-legged over time; fauns are the Roman woodland spirits attached to the god Faunus, usually gentler and more shy. Modern fantasy tends to blend the two.
Do these names work for D&D or Pathfinder satyrs?
Yes. Both games present satyrs with Greek-flavored names, so mythic and Greek-derived names fit the Feywild and Mythic Odysseys of Theros settings without adjustment.
Are there female satyr names?
Ancient art almost never shows female satyrs, but modern fantasy does. Greek feminine forms like Satyra, Bakchis, Ampelia, Thyrsa, and Choreia are included so you have options.
