Tellarite Name Generator
Blunt, guttural names for the Federation's proudest arguers
Generate Tellarite names for Star Trek characters: blunt single names in the manner of Gav, Gral and Skalaar, and three-part names with a particle and a clan name, such as Mor glasch Tev, Dorgav glov Drogmeer and Kaarla chim Skal.
About Tellarite names
Tellarites are one of the four founding species of the Federation, yet only a handful have been named on screen: Ambassador Gav in the original series, Gral, Naarg, Skalaar and Gaavrin in Enterprise, and the young engineer Jankom Pog in Prodigy. Names are short and blunt, built on g, k, v and r, with a flat or doubled a and a hard stop at the end, which suits a people who treat a good argument as plain courtesy.
The tie-in novels and the licensed role-playing game add a fuller form in three parts: a given name, a small particle and a clan name, as in Mor glasch Tev and Bera chim Gleer. This list uses five particles (bav, glov, jav, chim and glasch) and gives every full name a clan name of its own, so Dorgav glov Drogmeer and Kaarla chim Skal do not read as one pattern. The form is a convention of the books and the game, not a rule stated on screen.
About a third of the list is single names, from one-syllable names like Brak and Thol to softer ones like Veshka and Morla. The rest is full names, a few of them with a title. Apart from the known characters named above, the names are originals in the established style and are not canon.
How to choose Tellarite names
- Keep the given name to one or two syllables and end it on a hard sound: Brak, Gorv, Tarvik, Skalaar. A long, flowing name reads as Romulan or Betazoid, not Tellarite.
- In the three-part form the clan name comes last, and in the novels it is the name a Tellarite goes by: Mor glasch Tev is simply Tev to his crewmates. Decide early which part your other characters will use.
- The screen never explains the particles, so set a simple house rule for your table or story, for example that close relatives share both the particle and the clan name.
- Skip jokes about the species' look. Tellarite names in the shows are ordinary alien names, and a pun wears thin by the second session.
- Add a title for instant context: Ambassador Vorgel, Magistrate Dolvesk or Engineer Braskol tells the table what the character does before the arguing starts.
Frequently asked questions
Which Tellarite names are from the shows?
Gav comes from the original series, Gral, Naarg, Skalaar and Gaavrin from Enterprise, and Jankom Pog from Prodigy. Mor glasch Tev and Bera chim Gleer come from the tie-in novels. The rest of the list is original names in the same style and should not be read as canon.
How does a three-part Tellarite name work?
It runs given name, particle, clan name: in Mor glasch Tev, Mor is the given name and Tev the clan. The form comes from the Star Trek novels and the licensed role-playing game, and the five particles used here are bav, glov, jav, chim and glasch. On screen, Tellarites go by one name or, like Jankom Pog, by two.
Are there male and female Tellarite names?
No source sets out a rule. This list mixes harder names such as Garrosk and Thrag with softer ones that end in a vowel, such as Tolla, Naasha and Zhenka, and either kind can be used for any character.
Can I use these in Star Trek Adventures or fan fiction?
Yes. A single name like Brennag suits a trader or bounty hunter in the style of Enterprise, while a full name like Ostrev bav Gelskaar or Vorsha glasch Gloor fits a Starfleet officer or a diplomat. Known characters belong to the franchise, so keep those for fan works.
