How many names

Tips

• "Patronymic" creates Icelandic-style forms (e.g. Eriksson, Olafsdóttir).

• The "Saga" style adds bynames and warlike associations more often.

• Results are random. If the mood is not right, just generate again.

Choose gender, style, number of results and extras. The generator creates a set of names and bynames inspired by Norse culture.

How Old Norse names work

In medieval Scandinavia and the sagas, a name consisted of up to three distinctive elements:

Given name: The core personal name spoken in dialogue (e.g., Leif, Astrid, Bjorn, Freydis).
Patronymic: Paternal lineage marker – "-sson" or "-dóttir" (e.g., Haraldsson, Eiríksdóttir).
Epithet (Byname): A descriptive saga title capturing deeds, appearance, or reputation (e.g., "the Iron-Handed", "Bloodaxe", "of the Frozen Fjord").
