How the Genshin Impact Name Generator works
A Genshin Impact name generator for original characters. Genshin Impact is an open-world game where each region is inspired by a real-world culture, and characters are named to match their homeland. Pick a region style and generate a name that fits, perfect for an OC, a fan fiction hero or a role-play character.
How the Genshin Impact name generator works
Each region style draws on the culture that inspired it. The wind city uses German names, Liesel Windmark. The stone harbour uses Chinese names with the family name first, Su Meilin. The thunder islands use Japanese names, surname first, Minase Kaede. The desert of wisdom uses Arabic and Persian names, Farid al-Nuri. The court of justice uses French names, Colette Delacroix. The volcano tribe uses Nahuatl-flavoured names with a tribe or epithet, Itzel of the Obsidian Peak. The snow nation uses Russian names, with feminine surnames ending in a, Yelena Volkova style.
Regions by style, not name
The generator describes each region by type so every name is original. Map each style to the region your character calls home.

FAQ
How do I name a Genshin Impact OC?
Pick the region your character comes from and use a name from its matching culture. A character from the thunder islands should have a Japanese name, while a character from the wind city should have a German one, so the name tells readers their homeland.
Why do some names put the surname first?
Chinese and Japanese names traditionally place the family name before the given name. The stone harbour and thunder islands styles follow that order, so a name like Minase Kaede reads the right way for a character from those regions.
Can I pick a name from a different region?
Yes. Many characters travel or have mixed heritage, so a name from another region can give your OC an interesting backstory. A snow nation name on a character who lives in the wind city immediately suggests a story about migration.
Can I use these names in other games?
Yes. The names are original and use real-world naming styles, so they fit any anime-style fantasy game, gacha game, role-play server or fan fiction that needs a varied cast from many different cultures and lands.
