Generate Stellaris planet names for homeworlds, new colonies, habitats and relic worlds: human colony names like New Geneva and Landfall, alien coinages like Vaelora and Kel-Azaan, lithoid, fungoid, hive and machine world names, plus canon picks such as Unity, Deneb and Fen Habbanis.

About Stellaris planet names

Stellaris names uncolonised planets after their star plus a Roman numeral (Sol III, Alpha Centauri IV, Tarsus II), so the moment you settle a world and give it a real name it stands out on the galaxy map. The game's own name lists show the range: the United Nations of Earth colonise worlds with hopeful human names, the Commonwealth of Man rules from Unity in the Deneb system, the Imperium-style lists lean Latin (Concordia, Praetoria), and alien empires use clipped coinages like Tzynn, Yondarim and Kel-Azaan. Event worlds such as Fen Habbanis, Wenkwort and Cybrex Alpha add a layer of mystery.

The best custom names match the empire that owns them. Human and humanoid empires suit New plus a city, descriptive settler names (Landfall, Far Shore, Harrow's Landing) or virtues (Resolve, Amity). Lithoids take mineral names (Basaltis, Obsidia, Kimberlite); fungoids and plantoids take spore and root words (Sporeth, Rootholm, Mycelia); hive minds name worlds by function (Brood World, Spawning Pool, Queen's Rest); machine intelligences number them or call them Foundry, Lattice or Node 19; necroids favour Ossuary, Requiem and Tomb World. Aquatic, toxoid and mythological names (Asgard, Uruk, Tethys) round out the set.

The list mixes a few canon worlds with hundreds of originals for your next Gaia world, ring segment, habitat or ecumenopolis.

How to choose Stellaris planet names

Name colonies in the style of your empire's species class and ethics: a Fanatic Materialist machine empire should not own a planet called Sweetwater, and a Spiritualist hive should not own Node 7.
Keep the star-plus-numeral convention for minor mining or research colonies and save distinctive names for your capital, ecumenopolis and Gaia worlds so they stand out on the map.
Reuse the phonetic root of your species or homeworld for early colonies (Vaelora, then Vael Prime, Vaelmere) so the core worlds feel like one culture.
For rebuilt relic worlds, precursor homeworlds or the L-Cluster, keep the event names (Fen Habbanis, Cybrex Alpha, Terminal Egress) or echo them; renaming them erases the story.
Stellaris truncates long names in the outliner and planet tooltips, so one or two words read best; avoid anything longer than about 18 characters.

Frequently asked questions

How are planets named in Stellaris by default?

Unclaimed planets are named after their star with a Roman numeral counting outward (Sol III is Earth). Habitable worlds colonised by an empire draw a name from that empire's name list, such as Unity for the Commonwealth of Man, and you can rename any owned planet by clicking its name in the planet view.

Can I rename planets in Stellaris?

Yes. Open the planet, click the name at the top of the panel and type a new one. You can rename your homeworld, colonies, habitats and ring segments, but not planets owned by other empires.

What kind of names fit a hive mind or machine empire?

Hive minds work best with function words like Brood World, Spawning Pool or Warren, while machine intelligences suit numbered nodes, Foundry, Lattice, Assembly or Unit One. Both avoid the hopeful, personal names organic individualist empires use.

Are these names from the actual Stellaris name lists?

A handful are canon (Unity, Deneb, Fen Habbanis, Wenkwort, Cybrex Alpha, Earth) and the rest are original names written in the same styles, so they will blend in with the game's own generated planets.
