Twi'lek Name Generator

Twi'lek names come from Ryloth, the harsh, tidally locked homeworld of the lekku-headed species seen everywhere from Jabba's palace to the Ghost crew in Rebels. Canon names like Aayla Secura, Hera Syndulla, Bib Fortuna, and Mission Vao share a recognizable sound: open vowels, soft consonants (l, n, r, v, s), and short two- or three-syllable given names paired with a clan name. Female names lean toward -a and -ia endings (Alema, Xiaan, Numa), while male names are often blunter and shorter (Cham, Gobi, Tott, Orn).

One detail that separates a good Twi'lek name from a generic alien one is the joined form. On Ryloth, a Twi'lek's given name and clan name are traditionally spoken as a single word, so Bib Fortuna is properly Bibfortuna and Nawara Ven is Nawaraven. Splitting the name into two parts is a habit picked up by Twi'leks who live off-world among Basic speakers. Apostrophes (Kh'aris, Tal'dira, Tru'eb) mark glottal stops in Ryl, the native language, and are best used sparingly, roughly one in every five or six names.

The list below mixes canon characters, joined Rylothian forms, and original names built on the same phonetics, so you can pick a Jedi Knight, a Free Ryloth fighter, a Coruscant dancer, or a Hutt majordomo and have the name feel like it belongs in the galaxy far, far away.
