How the Warhammer Name Works

In the grim darkness of the far future, names reflect zealous devotion, centuries of apocalyptic warfare, and high-Gothic imperial bureaucracy. From the Adeptus Astartes to the Holy Ordos of the Inquisition, warriors bear names honoring ancient Terran saints, bloodline chapters, and martyred oaths.

Naming Characteristics

Heavily inspired by High Gothic Latin, Teutonic martial honor, and harsh archaic terminations (-us, -or, -ian, -mund, -gath) accompanied by earned martial epithets like 'the Purifier' or 'the Heretic Bane'.
