Generate Leagues of Votann names for Warhammer 40,000: Kin warriors, Kâhls, Theyns, Grimnyr, Einhyr Champions, Brôkhyr Iron-masters and Ironkin, plus Kindreds, Holds, Leagues and void ship names in the Norse-flavored, circumflex-heavy style of the Squats.

About Votann names

Leagues of Votann names sound like dwarf names that have spent ten thousand years in deep space. The Kin draw on the same Norse and Germanic roots as classic fantasy dwarfs (Ûthar, Grimnyr, Brôkhyr, Einhyr) but Games Workshop marks them with circumflexes and clipped, hard-edged spellings: Kâhl, Hearthkyn, Hernkyn, Ymyr, Kronus. A name usually stands alone (Ûthar the Destined) or is paired with a rank and, sometimes, an earned epithet. Surnames are rare; instead a Kin belongs to a Kindred, which belongs to a Hold, which belongs to one of the great Leagues such as the Greater Thurian League, the Kronus Hegemony, the Trans-Hyperian Alliance, the Ymyr Conglomerate or the Urani-Surtr Regulates.

The flavor comes from mining, engineering and commerce rather than gods and glory. Good original names lean on ore, seams, lodes, ingots, ledgers, hearths and forges, and the Ironkin (sentient constructs) get shorter, blunter designations that still follow Kin phonology.

This generator gives you Kin given names for both sexes, rank-prefixed names for every unit type, Ironkin designations, Kindred and Hold names, original Leagues and void ship names, so you can name an entire army, a Hearthkyn Salvagers Kill Team or a single Hernkyn Yaegir on your painting desk.

How to choose Votann names

  • Put the rank first and keep it canon: Kâhl for the leader, Theyn for a squad leader, Grimnyr for the psyker-priest, Brôkhyr Iron-master for the engineer, Einhyr Champion for the elite duelist. The rank carries more weight than a surname.
  • Use one circumflex per name, at most two. Ûthar and Brôkhyr read as Votann; a name with accents on every vowel reads as parody.
  • Give epithets for deeds, not decoration. 'the Destined', 'Grudgebearer' or 'Seamcutter' tells a story; stack three titles and it becomes noise.
  • Name the Kindred and Hold before the individuals. A Kin introduced as 'Hrôlf of Kindred Thûrnvald, Hold Grômhelm' instantly feels like part of a League.
  • Ironkin should sound Kin-made but abbreviated: short clipped names (Kôrr, Vâlta, Thûll) or a rebuilt-unit designation rather than human nicknames.

Frequently asked questions

How are Leagues of Votann names structured?

Most Kin use a single given name, optionally preceded by a rank (Kâhl, Theyn, Grimnyr, Einhyr, Brôkhyr) and followed by an epithet, as in Kâhl Ûthar the Destined. Lineage is expressed through a Kindred and Hold rather than a family surname, and the Kindred in turn belongs to a League.

What are the five Leagues of Votann?

The Greater Thurian League, the Kronus Hegemony, the Trans-Hyperian Alliance, the Ymyr Conglomerate and the Urani-Surtr Regulates are the major Leagues described in the codex. There are countless smaller Leagues, which is why this generator includes original ones you can claim for your own army.

Are Votann names just dwarf names with accents?

They share Norse roots with fantasy dwarfs, but the Kin aesthetic is industrial and corporate rather than mythic. Names and titles reference ore, seams, ledgers, hearths and forges, the language uses circumflexes and the suffix -kyn (Hearthkyn, Hernkyn, Thunderkyn), and the Ironkin constructs get blunt, clipped designations.

Can I use these names for my Kill Team or army list?

Yes. Everything that is not a published Games Workshop character is free to use for your Hearthkyn Salvagers Kill Team, Combat Patrol, army roster or fan fiction. Ûthar the Destined and the five named Leagues are GW property, so treat them as references rather than your own creations.
