How the Ironsworn Name Generator works
An Ironsworn name generator for solo and co-op adventures in a harsh land, plus Starforged-style names for the same system in space. In Ironsworn-style games, heroes swear iron vows and set out to fulfil them against terrible odds. Generate Ironlanders, settlements, spacers, starships and sectors.
How the Ironsworn name generator works
Ironlanders get Norse and Celtic-flavoured names with hard, earthy surnames, Runa Greyhand, or are named for their home settlement. Settlements combine bleak words with homely endings, Frostwatch. Spacers get short, modern sci-fi names. Starships and sectors carry the same vow-and-iron tone, like the Iron Oath or the Shattered Reach.
Vows and iron
Iron vows are at the heart of the game. Names built around oaths, iron and ash keep that grim, determined mood.

FAQ
What do Ironsworn names sound like?
Harsh and northern, with Norse and Celtic roots, like Haldor Wolfsbane or Asha Ironfell. The Ironlands are cold and dangerous, so names feel weathered and strong.
How do I name a settlement?
Pair a bleak or natural word with a homely ending, like Ravenhold or Deepford. Settlements in the Ironlands are small and fragile, so names should sound hard-won.
What about Starforged names?
Starforged moves the same system into space. Spacers get shorter, modern names, and ships and sectors keep the vow theme with names like the Last Promise or the Veiled Rift.
Can I use these in other solo games?
Yes. The names are original or common real names and fit any grim fantasy, frontier sci-fi or solo roleplaying game or story, whatever system you use and however you play.
