Waking an ancient dynasty from its tomb? This free Necron name generator creates dynasties, nobles, tomb worlds and legions with the ancient, regal feel of the Warhammer 40,000 setting.

How do you make a Necron name?
Combine two short, ancient-sounding syllables, such as Sekh and ara, then add a regal title and an epithet. Names should sound old, formal and slightly menacing.
How do I name a Necron dynasty?
Use an invented ancient word followed by "Dynasty", for example "The Imotara Dynasty". Tie it to your colour scheme or tomb world for extra flavour.
How do I name a Necron noble?
Give them a rank such as Overlord or Phaeron, a name and an epithet that hints at their personality, like "the Patient" or "the Collector".
Are these names official?
No. Names are generated from original syllables and word lists, and the generator filters out well-known official dynasty and character names.
Can I use these names for my army?
Yes, they're free to use for your own hobby projects and army lists.
