Slytherin name generator
Get a pure-blood Slytherin name with its meaning, wand and Patronus, or genderbend any name, the way the Malfoid trend turned Draco into Draconia.
How it works
Type your name
Your first name seeds the result, so the same name always gets the same Slytherin identity. Leave it blank for a random one.
Witch or wizard
Pick which list to draw from: star and Latin names for witches, constellations and Roman names for wizards.
Keep or reroll
Copy or share your card, or reroll for a different name. Switch to Genderbend mode to turn any name into its opposite.
Slytherin name ideas
Every first name the generator can give you, with its meaning. Old pure-blood families in the books name children after stars and constellations, so those sit next to Latin and Greek names with the same aristocratic feel.

FAQ
How does the Slytherin name generator work?+
It combines a first name in the style of old pure-blood families (stars, constellations and Latin names, like the Blacks used) with an invented aristocratic surname, then adds a wand, Patronus and trait. Your typed name seeds the result, so it stays the same until you reroll.
What are good female Slytherin names?+
Star and constellation names fit best: Lyra, Cassiopeia, Vega, Lacerta, Carina, Andromeda. Latin names like Lucretia, Drusilla, Octavia and Aurelia also sound pure-blood.
What are good male Slytherin names?+
Constellations such as Orion, Cygnus, Corvus and Perseus, or Roman names like Octavian, Septimus, Tiberius and Cassius.
What is Draco Malfoy's name as a girl?+
There is no official one. The 2026 Malfoid trend mostly uses Draconia; other fan works use Lyra, Lacerta, Dracanea or Dracena.
Are the surnames from the Harry Potter books?+
No. The surnames are invented so a generated name never claims to belong to a real family from the books.
