The Sinhalese are the largest ethnic group in Sri Lanka and, with a population of about 15 million, make up roughly 75% of the population. The Sinhalese speak Sinhalese, which is an Indo-Aryan language with its own writing system. This Sinhalese Name Generator + Name generator provides many authentic options.

Sinhalese naming conventions used to be quite different from those you would find across most of the world. They used to have a personal name and a ge name, which preceded the personal name. The ge name indicated a place of origin, a title, a profession or another characteristic of that person. The reason it is called a ge name is because this is the suffix that ends everything considered to be part of the ge name. For example, Patabendige Abeysekara is a name and the ge at the end of Patabendi indicates Patabendi is the ge name and Abeysekara is the personal name.

Today this naming system is not all that common anymore, instead the more typical first name + surname pattern is followed. This is also the pattern you will find in this generator.
