Wuxia (武侠) stories need names that feel at home in jianghu—heroes, sects, and techniques that sound martial and poetic. Choosing names that fit the genre helps your character or sect feel authentic. The Wuxia Name Generator helps you create character, sect, and technique names that match the martial arts tone without copying famous novel names.
Naming in Jianghu
Characters use surname + given name (Li Xiaoyun, Chen Wuji). Given names often have meaning (clear wind, bright moon, sword heart). Sects use evocative phrases (Flying Snow Sect, Nine Swords Sect, Bamboo Grove Sect). Techniques and titles use vivid names (Thunder Palm, Sword Saint, Shadow Step). Use keywords in the generator to pick a type—hero, sect, technique—and get names that fit.
Character Names
Heroes often have two-syllable given names with meaning: Qingfeng (clear wind), Mingyue (bright moon), Jianxin (sword heart). Surnames are common (Li, Wang, Zhang, Liu, Chen). The generator produces both full names and title-style names (Sword Saint, Jianghu Wanderer).
Sect and Technique Names
Sects: Flying Snow Sect, Nine Swords Sect, Iron Fist Sect, Wudang, Emei, Kunlun. Techniques: Thunder Palm, Dragon Subduing Palm, Shadow Step, Flying Dagger. The generator creates original sect and technique names in the same poetic, martial style.
