How the Vulcan Name Generator works
A Vulcan name generator in the patterns of Star Trek's Vulcans: male names that start with S, like Sarek and Sybok, and female names that start with T', like T'Pol and T'Pring. Add a clan, a parent or a title such as Master of Gol or Healer, and give your character a place in Vulcan society.
How the Vulcan name generator works
Vulcan names follow a loose rule from the original series. Men's names mostly start with S: Spock, Sarek, Sybok, Stonn, Solok, Sonak. Women's names start with T': T'Pau, T'Pring, T'Pol, T'Lar, T'Mir. The generator follows this rule for most names, and adds a few masculine names that break it, like Tuvok and Taurik, since canon did too.
Clans and titles
Vulcan society values family and tradition. Clans are named after their founders, and a name may be followed by son of or daughter of a parent. Titles mark a role: Master for teachers of the Kolinahr discipline at Gol, Healer for Vulcan medics, and Ambassador for the diplomats Vulcans often serve as. The With clan and With title forms give a character that context.
Using Vulcan names
Use them for Star Trek OCs, fan fiction and Star Trek Adventures. For other species, see the Star Trek name generator and the Klingon name generator. This site is not affiliated with Paramount or CBS Studios.
FAQ
Why do Vulcan names start with S or T?
It began as a convention in the original series, suggested by writer Dorothy Fontana, and later shows mostly kept it. Male Vulcans get S names and female Vulcans T' names. A handful of male names, such as Tuvok and Vorik, break the rule, so the generator includes a few.
How do you say the apostrophe in T' names?
Fans and actors usually say T'Pol as tuh-POL, with a quick unstressed first syllable. The apostrophe marks that the T is almost its own syllable. The exact sound varies between shows, so there is no strict right way.
What is the Kolinahr?
The Kolinahr is a Vulcan discipline for purging all remaining emotion, studied under the masters of Gol. Spock tries and fails it in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The Master title in the generator nods to those teachers.
Can I use these names in Star Trek Adventures?
Yes. They suit Vulcan science officers, ambassadors and healers in Star Trek Adventures or any Star Trek game. They are generated from the naming patterns rather than copied from canon, so each one is a fresh character.
