Tech Priest Name Generator

Tech priests are the red-robed engineers of the Adeptus Mechanicus in Warhammer 40,000, and their names follow a recognisable formula: a rank, then a High Gothic personal name, often followed by a binaric or numeric designation. Rank comes first because it defines the priest's function. Enginseers maintain vehicles and machines, Lexmechanics and Datasmiths handle information, Genetors and Biologis study flesh, Dominus and Manipulus lead Skitarii on the battlefield, and Magos, Archmagos and Fabricator ranks sit at the top of the forge world hierarchy.

The personal names lean on Latin and Greek roots (Belisarius Cawl, Faustinius, Kelbor-Hal, Lokas Umbrata) mixed with harsh consonant clusters that sound like machine noise: Vaskol, Threx, Skarr, Draith. Many priests trade part of their birth name for a machine designation as they replace more of their body, which is why suffixes like 7-Delta, Rho-Sigma-Nine or Nine-Vale feel so at home. A few carry epithets earned in service, such as Ironvein, Cogsworn or Voidwright.

When picking a name for a Kill Team, RPG or 40k army character, decide first how augmented the priest is: a fresh Enginseer keeps a mostly human name, while an ancient Archmagos might be reduced to a title and a string of numerals.
