About Skyrim names

Nord names

Nords follow Old Norse patterns: short given names like Ulfric or Ragnhild, a patronymic ending in -sson or -dottir ("son of", "daughter of"), or an epithet such as "the Bold" or "Battle-Born".

Khajiit names

In the Elder Scrolls games, the syllable before a Khajiit name's apostrophe is a title: J' for a young male, Ri' for nobility, Dro' for an elder. A Khajiit may change prefix over a lifetime as their rank changes.

Argonian names

Argonians often go by a translated descriptive name like Swims-In-Reeds, or by a short name in their own Jel language. Both styles are generated here.

Skyrim name questions

Are these names from Skyrim?

No. They are new names in the style of the game's cultures, so your character won't share a name with an NPC.

What does the Khajiit prefix mean?

It shows rank or age: Ri' noble, J' young, Dro' elder. The gloss under each name gives the meaning.

Can I make a Nord name with a surname?

Half of Nord results get a patronymic like Thorsdottir; the rest get an epithet.
