Draw names and read the two parts

Press Pick 5 new Old English names. The Given to menu under the button keeps to women's or men's names. The line under each name gives the Old English spelling with its length marks, then each part's meaning. Where the dictionary records a later English form, the line ends with it: Eadgyth became Edith and Aelfraed became Alfred.

Spelling and first parts

The big line is a modern spelling: æ is written ae, þ and ð are written th, and length marks are dropped. More filters in the menu opens a row of first parts, such as Aethel- (noble), Ead- (wealth) or Wulf- (wolf), and keeps to names that open with one.

Questions and answers

What are some Old English names?

Aethelstan, Eadgar, Wulfric and Leofric for men, and Eadgyth, Eadgifu, Aethelflaed and Godgifu for women. Each has an Old English entry in English Wiktionary, and both of its parts stand in Wikipedia's table of Germanic name elements.

What do Old English names mean?

Each part has a meaning, but the pair usually has none as a phrase. Æþelstān joins æþele, noble, and stān, stone. The two elements of a Germanic name need not make sense together, so the cards print the parts with a plus sign.

Is this a Germanic name generator?

Yes, for one Germanic language. Old English names follow the two-element pattern that Germanic given names traditionally share. Names of other Germanic peoples, and names used in Germany today, are not on this page.

Were all Anglo-Saxon names made of two parts?

No. Some early names seem to have a single element, such as Offa and Penda, and their origin often cannot be recovered. This page lists only two-part names, because those are the ones whose parts a dictionary can explain.

How this list was compiled: A list by a written rule, built on 2 October 2026. A name is listed when it has an Old English entry in English Wiktionary's categories 'Old English male given names' or 'Old English female given names' (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Old_English_given_names, 1,049 entries that day), the entry's etymology builds the name from two Old English words and gives the meaning of each, and both words stand in the table of name elements in English Wikipedia's 'Germanic name' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_name, read the same day) with a meaning that agrees with the dictionary's. The Old English spelling on each card is the entry's headword with its length marks; the meanings are the dictionary's words. Left out: 214 names with a part the table does not hold, 30 where the two sources give a part different meanings, and every entry with no etymology or with a single part (Offa, Hild). Also left out: 2 names whose entry marks a part's meaning with a question mark (Hungyth, Wulfhun), 9 entries that are a second spelling of a name already listed, the same two words for the same sex (the form the dictionary marks as the main one is kept, else the one spelled with the words' usual forms, else the first in A-to-Z order), among them one written in runes; Harold, which its entry derives from Old Norse beside the native Hereweald; and Godhere, whose headword and gloss disagree. The modern spelling on the big line is ours, by rule: ae for æ, th for þ and ð, length marks and dots dropped. A later English form is printed only where the entry gives one as a descendant. 335 names given to men and 58 to women. The chips of the row 'First part' follow the first word on the card: Berht- names sit with Beorht-, and Cyne- covers both cynn (kin) and cyne- (royal). A card names a name, not a person.
