Are these real ancient Greek names?

The given names are drawn from real attested ancient Greek names, including names of historical figures and mythological characters, and follow real endings such as -os, -on, -es, and -as.

How does the patronymic option work?

Classical Greek naming often paired a given name with the father's name in the genitive case, similar to "Alexandros, son of Philippos" written as Alexandros Philippou. This tool builds that genitive form from the ending of the generated father name, simplified for readability rather than covering every irregular Greek declension.

Can I use these names for my game or story?

Yes. Generated names are free to use for characters, usernames, or any other creative project with no attribution required.

Are these names unique?

Names are picked from a limited pool of attested Greek names, so exact repeats are possible in a large batch. Generate a new batch if you want more variety.

Is any of my data sent to a server?

No. All names are generated with JavaScript directly in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored remotely.
