Are these real Celtic names?

Yes. The generator draws first names and surnames from real Irish, Scottish, and Welsh naming traditions, then pairs them randomly. Some combinations may not exist historically, but every individual name is authentic.

What is the difference between Irish, Scottish, and Welsh names here?

Each region uses its own pool of first names and surnames. Irish leans on names like Aoife and O'Brien, Scottish on names like Fraser and Isla, and Welsh on names like Rhiannon and Pritchard. "Any Celtic" mixes all three pools.

Can I generate only male or only female names?

Yes. Use the gender filter to restrict results to male or female first names, or leave it on Any to mix both.

How many names can I generate at once?

Up to 30 per click. Click Generate again for a fresh batch.

Is this data sent to a server?

No. Names are generated entirely in your browser with no network requests and nothing is stored beyond your current page session.
