How the Vampire Clan Name Generator works
A vampire clan name generator for covens, bloodlines and undead families. Pick a detail and generate a clan name, the sigil it bears, the gift its blood grants, or the law every member must keep. Every clan is original, for vampire fiction, tabletop horror campaigns and dark fantasy worlds.
How the vampire clan name generator works
Clan names come in three styles. Houses sound like old noble families. Courts and circles sound like secret societies. Poetic names, like the Blood Orchard, sound like something whispered about. Sigils give each clan a symbol, gifts describe the power their blood carries, and laws set the rules that make clan politics dangerous. For individual vampires, try the vampire name generator.
Clans and covens
A clan is usually a bloodline, all vampires made by the same ancestor. A coven is a group living together in one place. Many stories have both, with clans spread across the world and covens holding single cities.
FAQ
What is the difference between a vampire clan and a coven?
A clan is usually a bloodline, all descended from one ancient vampire. A coven is a group that lives and hunts together in one place. A single coven might include vampires from several different clans.
What makes a good vampire clan name?
A good clan name sounds old, secretive and a little grand. Houses with gothic surnames, courts with dark adjectives and poetic names all work. The name should hint at the clan's style, whether noble, feral or scholarly.
Why do vampire clans need laws?
Laws create politics and conflict. When a vampire breaks a clan law, the clan must punish them or look weak, which gives stories a ready-made source of betrayal, trials and hunts.
Can I use these in a vampire tabletop game?
Yes. The clan names, sigils, gifts and laws are original and do not copy any published vampire game. They are free to use for homebrew clans in any campaign or setting.
