About Sisters of Battle names

Adepta Sororitas names sound like they were lifted from a martyrology. Games Workshop's named characters set the pattern: Saint Celestine, Canoness Veridyan, Abbess Sanctorum Morvenn Vahl, Palatine Junith Eruita, Ephrael Stern, and the novel heroines Sister Miriya and Sister Verity. Given names are overwhelmingly Latin, Greek or medieval saint names (Aurelia, Perpetua, Hildegard, Theodora), while surnames lean Gothic and clipped: Vahl, Stern, Eruita, Thorne, Kantor. A few Sisters carry no surname at all, only a rank or a title earned in battle.

Rank comes first and tells you everything about the character's place in the Order. Novice and Battle Sister form the rank and file; Sister Superior leads a squad; Celestians are veterans, Seraphim and Zephyrim the jump-pack elite; Dominions, Retributors and Sacresants define the special-weapon and bodyguard squads. Above them stand Palatine, Canoness, Canoness Superior and ultimately the Abbess Sanctorum. Non-militant Orders add Hospitaller, Dialogus, Dogmata and Imagifier, while Repentia and the Mistress of Repentance carry names weighted with penance.

The list below mixes canon characters, rank-plus-name combinations for every unit type, and bare full names you can slot under any title. Pick a rank, then a given name that sounds like it belongs on a reliquary, and the character will feel at home in any Order, from the Bloody Rose to the Sacred Rose.

How to choose Sisters of Battle names

  • Match the rank to the model or role: Sister Superior for squad leaders, Celestian for veterans, Seraphim or Zephyrim for jump-pack units, Palatine or Canoness for your warlord, Hospitaller or Dialogus for support characters.
  • Choose saint-style given names (Agatha, Perpetua, Scholastica, Radegund) over modern ones; the more it sounds like a feast day, the more Sororitas it feels.
  • Keep surnames short and hard-edged, one or two syllables with Gothic consonants: Vahl, Stern, Harrow, Kessler, Drask. Long flowery surnames dilute the austerity.
  • Repentia and penitent characters suit grim epithets in place of a surname (the Forsworn, Unshriven, Cinder); Seraphim and Celestians suit airy or martial ones.
  • Add the Order after the name when you want extra flavour, e.g. Sister Superior Amalia Novena of the Order of Our Martyred Lady, but keep it off the model's base label so the name stays readable.

Frequently asked questions

How are Sisters of Battle named in Warhammer 40K?

Most follow rank plus a Latin, Greek or medieval saint-style given name plus a short Gothic surname, for example Canoness Veridyan, Palatine Junith Eruita or Sister Superior Amalia Novena. The rank indicates their role in the Order, from Novice and Battle Sister up through Sister Superior, Celestian, Palatine, Canoness and Abbess Sanctorum.

What ranks can I use for Adepta Sororitas characters?

Militant ranks include Novice, Battle Sister, Sister Superior, Celestian, Celestian Sacresant, Seraphim, Zephyrim, Dominion, Retributor, Repentia, Palatine, Canoness and Abbess Sanctorum. Non-militant Orders supply Hospitaller, Dialogus, Dogmata, Famulous and Imagifier, and Paragon Warsuit pilots and Mistresses of Repentance are named like any other Sister.

Are the canon characters like Saint Celestine and Morvenn Vahl safe to use?

They belong to Games Workshop and appear here only to show the naming style. The original names in this list are free to use for your army, Kill Team, roleplay campaign or fan fiction.

Which Order should my Sisters belong to?

The six major Orders Militant are Our Martyred Lady, the Valorous Heart, the Ebon Chalice, the Argent Shroud, the Bloody Rose and the Sacred Rose, each with its own colour scheme and temperament. Minor Orders and homebrew Orders are common, so you can pair any name here with an Order of your own invention.
