About Stargate names

Stargate fills two galaxies with peoples, and each one names itself differently, so this list is built people by people. The largest share is Jaffa, the warrior caste of the Goa'uld: short names split by an apostrophe in the manner of Teal'c, Bra'tac and Rak'nor, some with the titles First Prime or Master. Tok'ra names are softer, like Selmak, and may add a home (Jolinar of Malkshur) or a host. Goa'uld lords take the names of old gods, as Ra, Apophis and Ba'al did, so that share is small and titled. Abydonians keep an Egyptian sound, after Sha're, Skaara and Kasuf.

The builders of the gates, the Ancients or Lanteans, have names with a Latin ring (Janus, Moros, Oma Desala), and the Asgard borrow from Norse myth. In the Pegasus galaxy, Athosians such as Teyla Emmagan carry gentle given names and long family names, Satedans like Ronon Dex pair two short hard words, and the Genii sound faintly Greek, as in Acastus Kolya and Ladon Radim. Lucian Alliance names are clipped and rough.

A few entries are not people: planet designations in the P3X-888 form and Earth ships named from Greek myth, like the Prometheus and the Daedalus. The names are written in each style for your own characters and none is presented as canon.

How to choose Stargate names

  • Pick the people before the name. An apostrophe marks a Jaffa (Kel'nar, Shay'el), a Latin ring marks an Ancient (Lira Mentis, Tiberan), and two short hard words mark a Satedan (Halon Rix, Deka Morn).
  • Give First Prime to one Jaffa per Goa'uld lord, since the title belongs to a lord's chief warrior. Master suits an old teacher of warriors, in the way Bra'tac is addressed.
  • For a Tok'ra, name the host and the symbiote separately, as the series does with Martouf and Lantash. Entries such as Halvin, host of Seltar give you both at once.
  • A new Goa'uld works best with a god the series never used. The list offers a few from Mesopotamian, Slavic and Mesoamerican myth, such as System Lord Nergal and Lord Veles, plus underlords with no divine name at all.
  • Use the planet designations and ship names for a campaign log. P4X-217 or M3R-771 reads as an unexplored world, and the Theseus or BC-304 Perseus as a sister ship of the Daedalus.

Frequently asked questions

How are Jaffa names formed?

Most are two short syllables joined by an apostrophe, as in Teal'c, Bra'tac and Rya'c, though plain names such as Gerak exist too. The list follows both forms: Dar'ek, Tor'ak and Shay'el on one side, Derak and Brenak on the other. Senior warriors carry a title, as in First Prime Hor'ak or Master Ish'tal, or a home, as in Qa'ren of Chulak.

Which peoples does this generator cover?

Twelve groups: Jaffa, Tok'ra, Goa'uld, Abydonians, Asgard, Ancients, Athosians, Satedans, Genii and the Lucian Alliance, plus planet designations and Earth ships. Jaffa names are the largest share, about a quarter of the list, and the Ancient, Tok'ra, Athosian, Genii, Satedan and Abydonian styles have roughly 40 to 60 names each.

What do designations like P3X-888 mean?

In the series, worlds without a common name are logged by a short code such as P3X-888, and Pegasus galaxy worlds begin with M, as in M7G-677. The list has eighteen made-up designations, for example P5R-612 and M7G-418, for missions to worlds nobody has named yet.

Are these names from the shows?

The well-known character names appear only as examples in this guide. The list itself is written in each people's style or drawn from the same wells the series used, such as old pantheons, ancient Egyptian names and Greek myth. The list has not been checked against the shows, so a match with a minor character would be chance.
