Soul Eater Name Generator

Soul Eater names are jokes with a straight face. Atsushi Ohkubo builds almost every name from a pun or a reference, then plays it seriously: Maka is kama (scythe) spelled backwards, Soul Eater Evans nods to jazz pianist Bill Evans, Sid Barrett is Syd Barrett, Ox Ford and Harvar D. Éclair are universities, and Anya Hepburn is Audrey in a school uniform. Western names dominate because Death City sits in the Nevada desert.

Weapon partners usually carry their weapon in their name. Tsubaki Nakatsukasa hides a camellia and a chain scythe, Liz and Patty Thompson are Thompson submachine guns, Marie Mjolnir is a hammer, Azusa Yumi a bow, Harvar D. Éclair a lightning spear, Tsar Pushka a Russian cannon. Witches are named for their animal, often tacked on as a surname: Eruka Frog, Medusa and Arachne Gorgon, Angela Leon the chameleon, Tabatha Butterfly. Villains and Kishin eggs borrow real or legendary killers such as Jack the Ripper, Al Capone and Rasputin.

The list below starts with canon DWMA students, staff, Death Scythes, witches and villains, then adds original names for each group built on the same tricks: meisters with odd-but-plausible Western names, weapons whose surnames conceal a blade or a gun, animal-surnamed witches, and punny references for teachers and Death Scythes.
