What Is an Asgardian?
An Asgardian is a member of the godlike race from Asgard, 1 of the Nine Realms in Marvel Comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Asgardians are far stronger than humans and live for thousands of years, though they can still die. Thor, Loki, Odin, Frigga, and Lady Sif are the best-known Asgardians, and the Bifrost bridge links Asgard to the other realms.
Marvel built Asgard from Norse mythology, so Asgardian names come from Old Norse and follow the Norse custom of naming a child after the father. Thor Odinson means Thor, son of Odin. The Wikipedia page on Marvel's Asgardians covers their history in the comics, their powers, and the realm they rule.

4 Quick Tips for Naming an Asgardian
- Use Old Norse names. Asgard comes from Norse mythology, so names like Gunnar and Astrid fit the realm.
- Name the father. A patronymic like Halvardson ties the character to a family, the way Odinson ties Thor to Odin.
- Earn an epithet. Warriors carry titles for their deeds or nature, like Hogun the Grim.
- Skip god names. Names like Thor, Loki, and Odin belong to canon gods, so the generator leaves them out.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Asgardian last names?
Asgardians use patronymics instead of last names. A son adds -son to his father's name, as in Thor Odinson, and a daughter adds -dottir, as in Hela Odinsdottir.

Loki is called Laufeyson because his birth father is Laufey, the king of the Frost Giants. Odin adopted him as a baby, so he is also called Loki Odinson.
