Sea God Name Generator

Poseidon (Greek) and his Roman counterpart Neptune are the best known, followed by Oceanus and Triton. Outside the classical world: Ægir and Rán (Norse), Manannán mac Lir (Irish), Llŷr (Welsh), Watatsumi or Ryūjin (Japanese), Mazu and the Four Dragon Kings (Chinese), Varuna (Hindu), Tangaroa and Kanaloa (Polynesian), Sedna (Inuit), Olokun and Yemoja (Yoruba), and Chalchiuhtlicue (Aztec). All of them are in this generator.

A sea god rules the ocean specifically: tides, storms at sea, fish, sailors and drowning. Water gods cover rivers, springs, rain and fresh water, like Hapi of the Nile or Apam Napat. Some deities cross over, such as Varuna, who began as lord of the cosmic waters and later became god of the ocean, and Chalchiuhtlicue, who ruled lakes, rivers and the sea.

Start with the sound of the culture you are imitating, keep the name two or three syllables, and add an epithet that describes a concrete duty: Tidebinder, Keeper of the Reefs, Sire of Storms. Then decide how fishermen refer to the god informally (Old Saltbeard, Grandmother Undertow); that folk name often ends up being the one players or readers remember.

Many. Amphitrite, Thetis, Tethys, Thalassa and the Nereids in Greek myth; Rán and her nine daughters in Norse; Sedna, the most important Inuit deity; Yemoja, Olokun (sometimes female) and Mami Wata in West Africa and the diaspora; Mazu in China; Toyotama-hime in Japan; Chalchiuhtlicue and Huixtocihuatl among the Aztecs; Mama Cocha among the Inca; and Jūratė in Lithuania.
