About StarCraft names

StarCraft has three peoples and three ways of naming. Terrans are the descendants of exiles who settled the Koprulu sector, and their names sound like a frontier: Jim Raynor, Tychus Findlay, Rory Swann, Matt Horner. The old ruling families prefer grander ones, such as Arcturus and Valerian Mengsk. Protoss names are short and resonant, two to four syllables, often ending in -is, -ar, -ul, -as or -un: Tassadar, Artanis, Zeratul, Selendis. Zerg leaders have harsh, guttural names such as Zagara, Daggoth and Zasz, and the broods of the first game were named after monsters of myth, among them Tiamat, Jormungand and Garm.

Every name in this list is a new one written in those styles; the characters above only show the pattern. More than half of the list is Terran: plain two-part names, ranks from Private to Admiral, callsigns in quotation marks, Old Family names, ghost agents, battlecruisers and mercenary outfits. The Protoss share covers Khalai, Nerazim and Tal'darim sounds, with ranks such as Executor, Praetor, Judicator and Prelate and the tribes of the original game. The Zerg share has cerebrates, broodmothers, pack leaders and broods named after mythic beasts.

This is a fan page with no connection to Blizzard Entertainment, and none of these names should be read as part of the published setting.

How to choose StarCraft names

  • Decide the faction first, because the three styles do not mix. A Terran needs a given name and a surname, a Protoss usually goes by one name, and a Zerg commander is a title plus a growl of a name such as Cerebrate Vorgath.
  • For Terrans, let the rank or the callsign carry the backstory. Marshal Clint Hadley is a lawman on a fringe world, Agent Mara Voigt is a ghost, and Wade "Rattler" Briggs has clearly served in a squad that hands out nicknames.
  • Protoss branches sound different. Khalai names are open and bright (Velanis, Senaris), Nerazim names lean on z and r (Varazul, Morzhadar), and Tal'darim names are clipped and often take an apostrophe (Ka'vosh, Ja'ruun).
  • Name a Zerg brood after a monster from myth and give its ruler a name that means nothing at all. Typhon Brood, Nidhogg Brood and Bakunawa Brood follow the pattern of the first game without reusing its broods.
  • For a clan or a team tag, borrow an outfit or a ship. The Scrapyard Saints, Garrity's Gravediggers and Battlecruiser Iron Magnolia all shorten well.

Frequently asked questions

What do Terran names sound like in StarCraft?

Like the American frontier with a Southern drawl: short given names and plain surnames, often with a rank in front. From this list, Hollis Buckner, Loretta Pickens and Sergeant Moses Tully fit the mold, while Lucian Harrowgate and Octavia Belmonde suit the wealthy Old Families.

How are Protoss names built?

Most are a single name of two to four syllables with a strong ending such as -is, -ar, -ul, -as or -un. A rank or a tribe often stands with it, as in Praetor Daelthas, Judicator Malderis or Senduris of the Akilae. Nerazim and Tal'darim names are harsher, like Zhuradal or Highlord Ka'drakesh.

Are these names from the games?

No. The games' own characters appear only in the introduction, as examples of each style. The list entries are fan-made, although some use setting terms such as the tribe names, Aiur or Shakuras so that they read as part of that universe.

Can I use a Zerg name for a character or an army?

Yes. Pick a title that matches the role: Cerebrate for a commanding mind, Broodmother for a queen who rules her own brood, or a bare name like Krelvash or Yagrul for a primal pack leader. Epithets such as Mother of Maws or The Creeping Tide work for a whole swarm.
