Free Kannada name generator

Create names shaped by the Kannada language, regional tradition, and everyday naming customs of Karnataka.

Understanding Kannada naming

Kannada given names can have origins in spiritual beliefs (including the names of deities), positive qualities, and nature, among other sources.

Family names also have a variety of derivations, including occupations and place names. Some people may use a name that relates to the caste system, but practices vary widely, so it would be worth doing further research into the cultural context.

It’s important to note that Kannada naming conventions are diverse, with significant regional differences. Some people use the format of a personal name followed by their father’s given name and a family name, but other formats/structures are also used. For instance, people may include their village name.
