Disclaimer

Short version: names here are data and creative material, not legal advice.The details below say exactly where our responsibility ends.

Names are not legal clearance

Check before you register. A generated or listed name is not trademark-cleared, not company-name-cleared and not guaranteed unique. If a name will appear on a product, a business or a domain, search the relevant registers first. For the United States, start with theUSPTO trademark search. For companies and domains, check your local company register and a registrar.

Baby names: meanings are glosses from published sources, and scholarship sometimes disagrees with itself. Contested etymologies are marked contested in the row. Confirm anything that matters with a naming dictionary.

Invented means invented

Labeled honestly, always. Some tools build names in the style of a tradition that has no source corpus, such as elvish compounds. Those results carry an invented or folklore-inspired label on the receipt. Real attested names carry their tradition. The methodology page says which is which, tool by tool.

Errors are possible. Glosses come from published glossaries, census lists and community-documented conventions, and a row can still be wrong. Send corrections to the contact page; fixed rows get fixed.

Fandom pages are descriptive

Not affiliated, not endorsed. Pages that mention warrior cats, Star Wars, D&D, anime or kpop describe how those fandoms name things. The named properties belong to their rights holders. This site is an independent publisher and creates its own examples in the described style.

Real names that appear in tables, such as attested angels, demons or kpop groups, are cited as documented facts about the tradition, with their source named in the row.

No warranty

The site and its data are provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. Use names freely; use the claims carefully. Full terms are on theterms of use page.
