About

Generate names for wizards, mages, sorcerers, and arcanists across three stylistic tiers. The Classic style follows the Tolkien convention — a single first name paired with an evocative epithet ("Aldric the Wise", "Marenda of the Five Winds"). The Archaic style stacks a magisterial title onto the full name for high-mage formality ("Archmagus Aldric Spellweaver", "Sage Maerlin Crystallight"). The Dark style biases toward sinister-leaning first names with compound surnames ("Mordrek Bonebreaker", "Velmoran Hexbinder") and fits necromancers, antagonists, and corrupted scholars. Useful for D&D wizards (any school), Pathfinder arcanists, fantasy fiction, MMO characters, and tabletop campaign NPCs. All names are gender-flippable and the underlying pool runs into the thousands of unique combinations.

FAQ

Are these usable for D&D wizard PCs?
Yes — all three styles fit standard D&D wizards. Classic suits player characters; Archaic suits high-level magisters and NPCs; Dark suits villains, liches, and corrupted casters.
What is the difference between a wizard, mage, sorcerer, and warlock name?
All four use the same naming conventions in most fantasy settings — they differ by power source, not naming tradition. This generator works for any of them.
How does the Dark style differ from a regular wizard name?
It biases the first-name pick toward darker phonetic patterns ("Mor", "Mal", "Vor" prefixes; "-thor", "-rek", "-grim" endings) and always pairs with a compound surname rather than an epithet, producing harsher, more antagonistic-sounding names.
Can I add a wizard college / school of magic?
Not directly in the generator output, but you can append your own (e.g. "Aldric the Wise of Hogwarts"). The base names work cleanly as-is.
Why does Archaic style have a title?
The Archmagus / Magister / Sage prefixes signal rank or order. Drop them if you want a non-titled high mage, or use Classic style instead.
