How the Witch Coven Name Generator works
A witch coven name generator for circles, sisterhoods and gatherings of witches. Pick a detail and generate a coven name, where it meets, the grimoire it keeps or its familiar. Every coven is original, for witchy fiction, horror, fantasy campaigns and cosy magic stories alike.
How the witch coven name generator works
Coven names draw on plants, numbers and folk magic, moonwort, nightshade, thirteen and salt. Meeting places range from spooky to homely, since a coven can be dreadful or kind. Grimoires are the coven's shared spellbook, often handed down and added to over generations. Familiars give the coven a creature companion with its own personality. For individual witches, try the witch name generator.
Thirteen and other numbers
Folklore often says a coven has thirteen members, and many coven names use three, nine or thirteen for that reason. A number in the name makes a coven sound old and bound by tradition.
FAQ
What makes a good coven name?
A good coven name hints at the coven's magic and mood. Plant names suggest herbal craft, sea and salt words suggest coastal witches, and numbers suggest old tradition. It should sound like a secret spoken quietly.
How many witches are in a coven?
Folklore often says thirteen, but stories use any number. Three is common for sisters or a small circle, and larger covens might have a leader and many members spread over several towns.
What is a grimoire?
A grimoire is a book of spells, recipes and magical knowledge. A coven's grimoire is often shared, handed down and written in by many hands, which makes it a great source of hidden lore.
Can I use these for a cosy witch story?
Yes. The generator mixes spooky and homely results, so you can pick a tea shop coven with a hedgehog familiar for a cosy story or a burnt chapel coven for horror.
