How the SWTOR Name Generator works
A SWTOR name generator for Old Republic characters in Star Wars The Old Republic. The Old Republic era is thousands of years before the films, full of knights, sorcerers, smugglers, bounty hunters, troopers and imperial agents. Pick a class type to generate a character name, or generate a legacy surname to share across your characters.
How the SWTOR name generator works
Light-side knights get calm, balanced names, Aelis Tallon. Dark-side sorcerers get sharp, sibilant names and the title Lord, Lord Kaelth. Smugglers get quick, charming names that sound good on a wanted poster, Nova Riggs. Bounty hunters get hard, clipped names and often go by one name. Troopers get solid military surnames and ranks, Sergeant Brannock. Agents get forgettable cover names, or a numbered codename like Asset Four. Legacy names give all your characters on a server a shared family surname, so the generator makes them short and weighty, Varkos or Dravane.
Class types, not trademarks
The generator lists classes by type rather than their official names, so all results are original. Match each type to your chosen class.

Star Wars and Star Wars The Old Republic are trademarks of Lucasfilm, and the game is published by Electronic Arts. This site is not affiliated with Lucasfilm, Electronic Arts, BioWare or Broadsword. All names here are original. For other eras, try the Star Wars name generator.
FAQ
What is a legacy name in SWTOR?
A legacy name is a surname shared by every character on your account on the same server. It links your characters into one family story, so pick something short and meaningful that works for knights and sorcerers alike.
How do dark-side names sound different?
Dark-side names in the Old Republic style use sharper sounds, like x, z, v and th, and often take a title such as Lord. Light-side names sound softer and more balanced, which makes the contrast between the two sides instantly clear.
Can a bounty hunter have just one name?
Yes. Many bounty hunters in this style go by a single name or a nickname, because a hunter's reputation matters more than a family. The generator gives one-name results for hunters so they sound mysterious and dangerous.
What are the name rules in SWTOR?
SWTOR lets you choose a first name when you create a character, using letters and one apostrophe or hyphen, up to sixteen characters. Your legacy name then acts as a shared surname across your characters on that server.
