Star Wars · Identity · Tool
Enter your name. Discover who you would become if you fell to the Sith, and who you would be in the Jedi Order. Each path gives you two names. The Force is generous like that.
Names in Star Wars are signals. Sith names follow a formula — the title Darth followed by a dark Latinate root that signals the bearer's particular flavour of menace. Jedi names are vowel-heavy, hyphenated, drawn from cultures across the galaxy. Mandalorians get short, hard-consonant given names paired with ancestral clan names.
Each result below comes paired with its Aurebesh transliteration — the script you have been seeing on cockpit panels and Imperial signage since 1983. Click the reroll to pull a new combination. Two names per path, four names per click.

Each click pulls four fresh names — two Sith, two Jedi. The Force has options.
Why these names?
The Sith pattern
Sith names are the easiest to decode because George Lucas built them transparently. The title Darth is always followed by a Latinate root describing the bearer's brand of menace. Darth Vader — "invader" with the prefix stripped. Darth Sidious — "insidious" with the prefix stripped. Darth Plagueis — plague. Darth Tyranus (Dooku's Sith name) — tyrant, a name that tells you everything about how he saw himself relative to the Republic he abandoned. Darth Maul — to maul, to batter, a name that doubles as a job description. Darth Bane — bane, ruin. Darth Tenebrous — from Latin tenebrae, shadows. Darth Nihilus — nihilism. Darth Malgus — malice. Once you see the pattern you cannot unsee it. The word "Sith" itself has a more complicated origin than most fans realise — it predates A New Hope by a long way.
The Jedi pattern
Jedi names follow no single rule because Jedi come from across the galaxy — the Order itself is a melting pot of species and cultures. What canonical Jedi names share is phonetic restraint: soft consonants, open vowels, occasional hyphens. Obi-Wan Kenobi. Qui-Gon Jinn. Ahsoka Tano. Aayla Secura. Plo Koon. Mace Windu. The surnames mark species and homeworld — Mundi is Cerean, Koon is Kel Dor, Tano is Togruta, Secura is Twi'lek, Billaba is Chalactan. The philosophical gap between what Jedi and Sith names signal is not accidental — it maps directly onto the paradox at the heart of Sith doctrine that Yoda spends the prequels quietly trying to name.
A note on the puns
Roughly one in five rolls returns a punny name — Darth Vapor, Obi-Wan Cannobi, Mace Window. These are not canon. They are jokes. But they are the kind of jokes the Star Wars fandom has been making since 1977, and the generator considers them part of the legacy. Reroll if you want the straight lore.
A note on the lore
Every non-pun name fragment comes from canon (post-2014 Disney) or Legends (the pre-Disney Expanded Universe and the Karen Traviss Republic Commando novels). Aurebesh transliteration uses the standard one-to-one substitution cipher of Galactic Basic. The Order will know its own.
