Description
Every name comes apart into its pieces, with the meaning of each one. Bodketill is bod battle + ketill helmet — ketill being the Old Norse for a cauldron that came to mean a helmet, the way "kettle hat" did in English. 113 generators: D&D classes, Korean given names, tavern signs, thoroughbreds, starships. Behind them a reverse dictionary of 12,024 senses, searchable by meaning not sound. Nothing is model-generated. Every fragment placed by hand, in ten languages. Free, no ads, no account.
