Warrior Cats Name Generator

How to use the warrior cat name generator

1. Choose Cat names or Clan names.
2. Pick a rank. Warrior gives a full two-part name; Leader, Apprentice and Kit use the endings -star, -paw and -kit; Medicine cat leans toward gentler endings; Loner / rogue and Kittypet give single names for cats who live outside the clans.
3. Pick a look or nature (dark, pale, ginger, tabby, forest, water, sky, stone, fierce or gentle) so the prefix fits the cat you have in mind.
4. Tap a name to copy it, or ♥ it to keep a shortlist. Generate again for a new list with no repeats.

The warrior cat names are built from 367 prefixes and 81 suffixes, and there are 219 loner names, 186 kittypet names and 309 clan names besides. Every word was chosen for this tool. Use the results for an original character (OC), a roleplay, a fan story or a drawing.

What is my warrior cat name?

Type your first name into the box above the options and press Generate. The first name in the list is worked out from the letters of your name, so the same name gives the same warrior cat name every time, on any phone or computer. Capital letters, spaces and accents make no difference. Change the rank to see your kit, apprentice and leader names, or pick a look to get the version that matches your cat’s coat. The rest of the list is random, and because the generator never shows a name twice during a visit, your own name appears once for each setting.

How warrior cat names work

Warriors is a series of novels by Erin Hunter about clans of wild cats; the five living clans are ThunderClan, ShadowClan, WindClan, RiverClan and SkyClan. A clan cat’s name has two parts. The prefix is given at birth and normally stays for life. The ending changes as the cat grows up:

A loner or kittypet who joins a clan is given a clan name in the same pattern, and the old name is left behind.

Warrior cat name prefixes

A kit is named when it is newborn, so the prefix describes what the mother can see: the color or pattern of the coat, or a plant, animal or kind of weather the clan knows well. These 40 warrior cat name prefixes are a good place to start. The notes show how each one is usually read; they are suggestions, not fixed meanings.

Warrior cat name suffixes and their meanings

The books never give an official list of what each ending means. The name meanings below are common fan conventions: the way roleplayers and fan writers usually match a suffix to a cat. Treat them as a guide, and break them whenever a name simply sounds right.

Two endings are set by rank and not by character: -paw for apprentices and -kit for kits. A third, -star, belongs to leaders alone.

Warrior cat clan name ideas

A clan name is a single word joined to Clan, written as one word with a capital C in the middle. Most clans are named for the land they live on, for the weather, or for an animal the cats admire. Choose Clan names in the generator for more clan name ideas like these, and use the look option to match the territory: water for a river clan, stone for a clan of the hills.

Tips for naming a warrior cat OC

• Match the prefix to the newborn kit. The mother has not met the grown cat yet. She sees a dark coat, pale paws or a striped tail, so a prefix that describes looks is the most believable choice.
• Let the suffix tell the story. The ending is given years later by a leader who knows the cat, so it can praise a skill (-leap, -strike), a character trait (-heart) or the coat (-pelt, -stripe).
• Use only what a clan cat would know. Trees, birds, prey, weather and stones fit. Metals, gemstones, machines, faraway animals and human-made things do not.
• Do not say the same thing twice. A prefix and a suffix with the same meaning sound odd, so the generator leaves out pairs such as a fire prefix with a fire ending.
• Avoid names from the books. An original character deserves a name of its own. The generator skips the names of the series’ characters and clans; if a result still sounds familiar, look it up before you use it.
• Keep -star for leaders. It is never a prefix, and no warrior, apprentice or kit carries it.
• Say it out loud. Two or three syllables are easy to call across a camp.
