What is the difference between the three styles?

Codename is a short adjective-plus-noun alias used for stealth or cover, like a callsign. Shinobi Name pairs a given name with a descriptive surname for a full character name. Clan Name generates a name for a hidden order or village a group of ninja characters could belong to.

Are these real Japanese names?

No. These are invented names built for fiction, games, and usernames, not a record of real historical or family names.

How is this different from a samurai name generator?

A samurai name generator targets formal warrior names and honorifics. This tool focuses on stealth codenames, shinobi character names, and hidden clan names, so the results are built for covert or assassin-style characters instead.

Can I generate more than one name at a time?

Yes. Use the count selector to generate between 1 and 20 names in a single batch.

Does this store or send my data anywhere?

No. Names are generated entirely in your browser with no server-side processing, and nothing is saved once you leave the page.
