Sumeru Name Generator

Sumeru is Genshin Impact's nation of wisdom, and HoYoverse built it from three real naming traditions layered on top of each other. The rainforest and the Akademiya draw on Persian and Indian sources: Tighnari, Kaveh, Faruzan and Layla are Persian or Arabic names, while Nahida, Nilou, Collei and the Aranara lean toward Sanskrit and Hindi. The Darshans themselves are Avestan words (Amurta, Spantamad, Haravatat, Kshahrewar, Rtawahist, Vahumana), and the Dendro Archon's titles, Kusanali and Buer, come from Sanskrit and the Ars Goetia respectively.

The desert is a separate register. King Deshret's people use Arabic and Ancient Egyptian names, so Cyno, Candace, Dehya, Sethos and Setekh Wenut sit beside Eremite tribes like Tanit and places like Khaj-Nisut and Wadi al-Majuj. Aranara names are the easiest to spot: every one begins with Ara- followed by a Sanskrit-flavored syllable or two, as in Arama, Aranaga, Arapandu and Arakara. Almost everyone in Sumeru goes by a single given name; surnames are rare and titles (Grand Sage, General Mahamatra, Sage of Amurta) do the work a family name would.

This list mixes the canon roster and notable NPCs with original single names in each style, Aranara names, Akademiya and Eremite titles, and Sumeru places for worldbuilding.
