Sith Name Generator Based on Name

When a Sith Master names an apprentice, the new Darth name is meant to bury the person they used to be, so a personalized Sith name works best when it keeps just enough of your real name to be recognizable while twisting it into something colder. Star Wars gives plenty of precedent: Sheev Palpatine became Sidious, Dooku became Tyranus, and in The Old Republic apprentices routinely fold their old names into their titles. The trick is a sound-shift, not a translation.

A few reliable moves produce most of the names on this list. Swap soft letters for hard ones (C to K, S to X or Z, Ph to F). Cut a name to its first stressed syllable and add a Latin-style ending such as -us, -ix, -ar, -os, or -ax: Michael becomes Mikhaelus, Sarah becomes Saraxis, Emily becomes Emilix. Or keep the whole name and re-spell it so it looks foreign on the page, the way Rebecca becomes Rebekkar and Christopher becomes Chrysos. Some names such as Karen, Erin, and Lilith already sound like Sith titles and need nothing but the Darth in front.

Each entry pairs the Darth name with the everyday name it was forged from, so you can find your own or borrow the pattern to make one for a friend, a SWTOR character, or a Halloween costume.
