What Is the Last Name Generator?

The last name generator creates a list of common surnames for the chosen country. Surnames come from publicly available official statistics, so they match the culture you select. For languages with gendered surnames, choose a gender to get the matching form (Novák / Nováková).

How to Use the Last Name Generator

  1. Choose a country: get the common last names of one country, or leave it on random.
  2. Set the type: last name (surname), first name or full name.
  3. Set the number of names: how many surnames you want.
  4. Generate: click to get your list of random last names.

Did You Know...?

Many surnames record family lineage: Robertson means "son of Robert", Hansen "son of Hans" in Scandinavia, the Irish O' in O'Connor means "descendant of", and the Turkish suffix -oğlu in Hasanoğlu means "son of Hasan".

Use the last name generator whenever you need a surname fast:

  • Pseudonyms: build an anonymous profile name, screen name or username.
  • Characters: give families in games, novels, plays, comics and films a surname that fits their culture.
  • New surnames: explore ideas if you are thinking about changing your last name.
  • Pen names: a different surname in your byline can keep you anonymous or suit a particular audience.
