How to Choose a Perfect Name for a Turian?
A perfect turian name pairs a short Roman-style first name with a family name, as in Garrus Vakarian. Turians come from Palaven, and their culture follows the Roman Empire. The word turian comes from centurion, a Roman army officer. Every turian serves the state from age 15 to 30, so firm, military names fit them best. The Mass Effect Wiki turian page covers the Turian Hierarchy, colony markings, and the Primarchs. The table below shows each name style with an example name.
| Name Style | Root Theme | Example Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warrior | War, swords, and iron | Ferrus Corvian | Iron, of the raven family |
| Honor | Glory, faith, and gold | Fidar Leonis | Faith, of the lion family |
| Duty | Law, order, and guard duty | Ordis Montaris | Order, of the mountain family |
| Hunter | Wolves, hawks, and shadows | Lupar Nivarian | Wolf, of the snow family |
4 Quick Tips for Naming a Turian
- Keep the first name short. Canon names like Garrus and Saren have 2 syllables, so they are quick to say in a firefight.
- Use a Latin sound. Turian culture follows Rome, so endings like -us, -is, and -a fit the race.
- Add a family name. Turians carry family names, such as Vakarian and Arterius, so a 2-part name sounds complete.
- Skip canon names. Names like Garrus, Saren, and Nihlus belong to known characters, so the generator leaves them out.
