How the Wu-Tang Name Generator Works

It works from 100 names and name parts, which combine into over 5,000 possible results.

The choices:

  • Name format:
    • Two words, e.g. Iron Butcher
    • With "the", e.g. The Zen Hustler

Each press gives you 8, 16 or 32 names (choose under "How many"), and you won't see the same one twice until you've been through everything for the choices you've made.

The Wu-Tang Clan came out of Staten Island in the early 1990s with a sound built on hip hop and old kung fu films, and names to match: RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa and Ol' Dirty Bastard. This Wu-Tang name generator gives you a name with the same kung fu swagger.

Where the Wu-Tang style comes from

The Clan named themselves after the Wu-Tang sword style in the 1983 kung fu film Shaolin and Wu Tang, and called Staten Island "Shaolin". Their 1993 debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), borrowed its subtitle from the film The 36th Chamber of Shaolin.

The members' names mix nicknames, alter egos and kung fu references, and many have more than one: Raekwon is also known as the Chef, and Ghostface Killah as Tony Starks.

Using your Wu name

  • Two words, one attitude. An adjective and a role (Silent Mantis, Drunken Scholar) is the classic shape.
  • Make it a persona. Wu-Tang names are alter egos. Give yours a backstory: which temple did the Drunken Scholar leave, and why?
  • Use it for fun: gamer tags, quiz team names, nicknames for the group chat.
