Warhammer 40k Human Name Generator

Humans in Warhammer 40,000 are the setting's baseline, so their names have to sound like a real person could carry them through a hive city or a trench line, while still belonging to the 41st millennium. The house style is High Gothic: a Latin or Greek given name (Lucius, Octavia, Tiberius, Drusilla, Ignatius) fixed to a short, hard surname with a Germanic or English edge (Kell, Voss, Thorne, Stahl, Harrow). Ursarkar Creed, Ciaphas Cain and Gregor Eisenhorn all follow it. Around that core, individual worlds add their own accent: Slavic names on Vostroya and Valhalla, Arabic-flavoured names on Tallarn, Prussian formality on Mordian and Krieg, Victorian surnames on Praetoria, blunt one-syllable nicknames on Catachan, and Necromunda's hive slang where a ganger might simply be Nine-Finger Hob.

Rank and institution are part of the name. A Guardsman is introduced by regiment and rank, an Inquisitor by Ordo, a Sister of Battle by Order, a Rogue Trader as Lord-Captain, and an Administratum clerk as Prefect, Ordinate or Scribe. Saints and confessors usually go by one name and an epithet. Navigator houses keep long, layered names; Krieg soldiers are often numbers.

This list mixes a handful of canon figures for reference with hundreds of original names across every human arm of the Imperium, plus plain untitled names you can attach to any role.
