How this Greek Name Generator works
This cultural naming tool provides authentic Greek names spanning three historical eras: Ancient Greece and Mythology (gods, heroes, philosophers), Byzantine Empire (saints, emperors, nobles), and Modern Greece (contemporary names). The database contains 150+ verified Greek names with accurate etymological meanings, historical origins, and cultural significance for each entry, ensuring authenticity for character development and creative projects.
Names are organized by gender—Male, Female, and Unisex categories—with each name including its original meaning and historical context. Ancient names reference mythological figures and classical heroes, Byzantine names connect to Orthodox Christian tradition and imperial history, while Modern names reflect contemporary Greek naming practices still used today. This organization allows targeted selection based on character era and cultural context.
The generator displays 12 names per batch with meanings optionally visible for inspiration. Each name can be copied individually or edited inline before copying. The tool serves writers creating Greek-themed fiction, game developers building Mediterranean settings, historians researching naming conventions, and parents exploring traditional Greek names. All data processing occurs locally, supporting unlimited generation without usage restrictions.
