Star Trek Name Generator

Every Star Trek species has its own naming logic, and a name only sounds right when it follows that logic. Vulcan men take short S-k names (Sarek, Sorek) and women the T' prefix (T'Pol, T'Lana). Klingons use hard K, Q and gh sounds, often with an apostrophe and a patronymic, as in Durak, son of Lorgh. Romulan names are longer and smoother (Tomalak, Donatra, Velaren). Bajorans put the family name first, so Kira Nerys is Nerys of the Kira family. Cardassians lead with rank (Gul, Glinn, Legate), Ferengi keep to one blunt syllable or two (Quark, Brunt, Nunk), and Andorians carry a clan name marked sh', zh', ch' or th' for their four sexes.

Human Starfleet names are deliberately international, reflecting a united Earth: the crews mix Japanese, Nigerian, Russian, Indian, Irish and Brazilian surnames without comment, and a hyphenated name like Una Chin-Riley or La'an Noonien-Singh is perfectly normal. Trill joined hosts add the symbiont's name (Jadzia Dax, Lenara Kahn), and Orion, Betazoid and Denobulan names round out the Federation.

This list pairs well-known canon characters from every series with original names built on the same patterns, so you can pull a bridge crew, a Klingon house, or a DS9-style cast for Star Trek Adventures, Star Trek Online or your own fan fiction.
