Frequently asked questions
Are these real mythological names?
Yes. Every name in the generator is attested in myth, epic or history — no syllable-soup inventions. Each carries its traditional meaning or divine association.
How accurate are the meanings?
Meanings follow standard references: well-established etymologies where they exist (Alexander, Lakshmi), divine roles where etymology is debated (Marduk, Tlaloc). Uncertain glosses are left out, not guessed.
Can I use these names for a baby or a character?
For characters, freely. For babies, check living traditions with extra care — Hindu names in particular belong to a living faith, and pronunciation and respect matter.
Will more pantheons be added?
The bank covers eight pantheons today and grows with the site. Roman, Slavic and Chinese names are natural next additions.
