Undead Name Generator

Generate undead names for D&D skeletons, zombies, wraiths, and risen horrors — not vampires or liches, but the shambling rest.

Not every undead was a vampire lord. Generate names for skeleton captains, zombie hordes, and the wraith that used to have a name before the necromancer got creative.

How to use this generator

  1. Choose how many names you want (5–30).
  2. Click Generate for a fresh batch of random names.

  4. Use the name for your D&D character, NPC, location, or worldbuilding notes.

Naming tips

  • Skeleton knights may keep fragmented mortal names.
  • Zombie names can be corrupted versions of villager names.
  • Pair with the Necromancer generator for who raised them.

Frequently asked questions

When do undead creatures need names?

Named undead feel more intentional — a wight commander, a zombie champion, or a skeleton knight with a heraldic past. Use this for monsters; use the Vampire or Necromancer generators for sentient undead NPCs.
