What Is This Jedi Names Generator?
The Jedi Name Generator creates original Star Wars Jedi and Sith names — Padawan learners, Jedi Knights and Masters, Sith Lords (with their Darth titles), and Grey Jedi — following the naming conventions established across the Star Wars films, series, games, and the Expanded Universe.
Every name is original. The generator draws on the established naming patterns of both the Jedi Order (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Aayla Secura) and the Sith tradition (Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, Darth Revan) — to produce names that fit naturally in the Star Wars galaxy across any era from the High Republic to the New Republic.

How Jedi Are Named
Star Wars Force-user naming has two distinct traditions: Jedi naming: species-influenced personal names, often unusual phonetics — Obi-Wan (human, Old Republic flavour), Mace Windu (human, strong sound), Kit Fisto (Nautolan, alien-influenced), Aayla Secura (Twi'lek, flowing). Jedi often have two-part names (given + clan/species surname). Sith naming: the Rule of Two means Sith take 'Darth' titles that describe their power, philosophy, or feared aspect — Darth Vader (Dark Father), Darth Sidious (insidious), Darth Maul (injury), Darth Revan (to conquer), Darth Bane (destruction). The Darth title replaces the birth name. Grey Jedi: names follow Jedi patterns but character is philosophically independent.

History & Background
The Jedi Order is the most visible Force-wielding organisation in Star Wars, introduced in the original 1977 film. The prequel trilogy (1999–2005) expanded the Jedi to a large institution with hundreds of named members — many visible in the background of the Jedi Temple scenes. The High Republic era novels (2021–) established the Jedi at their peak centuries before the films. The Sith, following Darth Bane's Rule of Two, are a tradition of exactly two practitioners: one Master and one Apprentice. The 'Darth' title dates back thousands of years in Legends/EU continuity and in canon. Notable Jedi naming: many non-human Jedi have names influenced by their species' language — Ahsoka Tano (Togruta), Kit Fisto (Nautolan), Luminara Unduli (Mirialan), Shaak Ti (Togruta).
Star Wars Force-User Naming Reference
- Jedi two-part naming — most Jedi have a given name + clan/species surname: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu (one name, Windu is surname), Aayla Secura (Twi'lek)
- Darth title protocol — 'Darth' is always the first word; the second part is the Sith's new identity: Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, Darth Revan. The birth name is discarded
- Species naming influence — Togruta names (Ahsoka, Shaak Ti): short, sharp. Twi'lek names (Aayla, Bib, Hera): flowing vowels. Zabrak names (Maul, Eeth): harsh stops
- High Republic Jedi — High Republic era (200–100 BBY) Jedi names: Avar Kriss, Elzar Mann, Stellan Gios, Bell Zettifar — more varied sounds than Prequel era
- Rule of Two Sith — only two Sith exist at once (Darth Bane's Rule): a Master and an Apprentice. If the apprentice kills the master, they take a new apprentice
- Inquisitors — Imperial Inquisitors are not Sith but use titles like Grand Inquisitor, Second Sister, Fifth Brother — ordinal + gendered title
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of names does this Jedi Name Generator create?
The generator creates original Star Wars Force-user names for three categories: Jedi (Knights, Masters, Padawans) following the species-influenced naming conventions of the Jedi Order, Sith Lords with their Darth title following the Rule of Two tradition, and Grey Jedi who balance between the two philosophies.
How does the Sith Darth naming tradition work?
When a Force-sensitive joins the Sith, they are given a 'Darth' name by their Master that replaces their birth name and defines their Sith identity. The name usually describes their power or philosophy: Vader (invader/dark father), Sidious (insidious, scheming), Maul (to injure/destroy), Revan (to conquer again). The name is both a title and a new identity.
Can Jedi have species-specific names?
Yes — and they should. Non-human Jedi typically have names reflecting their species' phonetics: Togruta names are short and sharp, Twi'lek names are flowing, Zabrak names are harsh. The generator can produce species-influenced Jedi names for any of the major Star Wars species.
Can I use generated names for Star Wars fan fiction or TTRPG campaigns?
Yes. Generated names are original and follow the naming conventions of the Star Wars galaxy across any era.
