Male Gothic Names

How male gothic names are built

Gothic names are single names with no surname, drawn from gender-specific banks of 276 male and 110 female forms. The male template returns one name like Ansila or Filimer; the female template returns one name like Chlotsuintha. There is no second element to pair.

• Ansila

  single entry from the male bank

• Chlotsuintha

  single entry from the female bank

• Filimer

  single entry from the male bank

Naming notes

Two templates each return one bank entry, one for male names and one for female. There is no surname slot, so every result is a single standalone name. The male bank is more than twice the size of the female bank (276 against 110), so female names recur sooner across a long list. Era label: the migration period and the Gothic kingdoms.

Questions about male gothic names

Why is there only one name and no surname?

Each template returns a single entry from the 276-entry male or 110-entry female bank, with no second slot to fill.

Which bank repeats sooner?

The female bank, at 110 entries against the male bank's 276, so a female pull comes round again faster across many draws.

What era does the set label?

The migration period and the Gothic kingdoms. The forms are single standalone names rather than surname-bearing ones.
