🏛️ Ancient Greek Names 🏺
This Ancient Greek Name generator will give you 10 random ancient Greek names. Find Ancient Greek Name 1000 name ideas from classical antiquity.
Male and female Greek names are constructed differently, which shows in the suffixes. Surnames were not used like they are today. Instead, a patronymic system was used (son of, daughter of), although women would often be referred to as wife of, as this was often more polite than using her own name.
These last names were not really used in every day life, but only for mostly bureaucratic purposes. As mentioned, a married woman would usually be referred to as wife of .., but on her gravestone it would have her full name. Nicknames were also quite popular, oftentimes they would replace the usage of a given name, much like nicknames today.
