Generate Six of Crows names in the style of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse: canon characters, places and gangs from Kaz Brekker and the Slat to the Ice Court, plus hundreds of original Kerch, Ravkan, Fjerdan, Shu, Zemeni and Suli names and Barrel nicknames for OCs, fanfiction and heist crews of your own.

About Six of Crows names

Names in Six of Crows work because every country in the Grishaverse borrows from a real place. Kerch and Ketterdam are Dutch at heart, so merchers and Barrel rats carry names like Kaz Brekker, Wylan Van Eck, Jan Van Eck, Per Haskell, Cornelis Smeet and Jellen Radmakker. Ravka is Russian (Nina Zenik, Zoya Nazyalensky, Genya Safin), Fjerda is Scandinavian (Matthias Helvar, Jarl Brum), Shu Han uses paired surnames like Kuwei Yul-Bo and Tamar Kir-Bataar, Novyi Zem leans Irish and West African (Jesper and Colm Fahey, Leoni Hilli), and the Suli are a travelling people with names like Inej Ghafa. Once you know which nation a character comes from, the right sound follows.

The Barrel adds a second layer: nicknames. Kaz is Dirtyhands, Inej is the Wraith, and the Dregs' rank and file go by single handles like Rotty, Specht, Muzzen and Keeg. Gangs are named for their turf and their teeth, from the Dregs and Dime Lions to the Black Tips and Razorgulls.

This generator mixes canon characters, places and factions with original names written to the same rules. Use the canon entries for reference and the originals for OCs, roleplay, fanfiction or a heist crew of your own.

How to choose Six of Crows names

  • Pick the character's nation first, then the name: Dutch surnames for Kerch (Van Dijk, Brouwer, Tiegs), Russian for Ravka (Vetrov, Petrenko), Norse for Fjerda (Halvarsen, Ekke) and a Yul- or Kir- prefix for Shu Han.
  • Barrel characters usually go by one short handle (Wick, Sprat, Knuckles) and reveal a real name only when it matters; give your OC both and decide who knows which.
  • Kerch merchers sound richest with a double-barrelled Dutch surname and a plain given name, like Hendrik Vosbergen or Aleid Van Hoorn; keep Barrel names shorter and rougher.
  • Fjerdan women's names in the books often end in -sdat (Jandersdat, Vangsdat), a patronymic that signals Fjerda instantly.
  • Keep canon surnames like Brekker, Van Eck and Helvar for the characters who own them; a stranger called Brekker will read as a typo rather than an homage.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the six Crows in Six of Crows?

The crew is Kaz Brekker (Dirtyhands, leader of the Dregs), Inej Ghafa (the Wraith, a Suli acrobat and spy), Jesper Fahey (a Zemeni sharpshooter and secret Fabrikator), Nina Zenik (a Ravkan Heartrender), Matthias Helvar (a Fjerdan drüskelle) and Wylan Van Eck (a mercher's son and demolitions expert). Kuwei Yul-Bo, the Shu scientist they rescue from the Ice Court, travels with them in Crooked Kingdom.

How do I name a Six of Crows OC so it sounds authentic?

Match the nation. A Kerch character needs a Dutch-flavoured name (Joost Tiegs, Saskia Van Aken), a Ravkan a Russian one (Mikhail Zhuravlev), a Fjerdan a Norse one (Sigrid Halvarsen), a Shu character a Yul- or Kir- surname (Lin Yul-Shen), and a Zemeni an Irish or West African one (Declan Rourke, Amara Nwosu). If they run with a gang, add a one-word Barrel handle.

What are the gangs in Ketterdam?

The Barrel gangs named in the books include the Dregs (Kaz's crew, based at the Slat and the Crow Club), Pekka Rollins' Dime Lions, the Black Tips, the Razorgulls and the Liddies. The stadwatch police the city, and the Merchant Council rules it from the Exchange. Original gang names here, like the Harbor Kings or the Stave Rats, follow the same turf-plus-threat pattern.

Can I use these names in fanfiction or my own story?

The original character, gang, ship and tavern names in this generator are free to use anywhere. Canon names, places and factions belong to Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse and are included for reference; they are fine for fanfiction but should be avoided in original published fiction.
