Are these official Nord names?

No. They are fan-made names in the style of the Nord bank, for fan fiction, tabletop, and original Norse-flavored human characters. The generator is unaffiliated and not endorsed.

Why do surnames look so different from each other?

There are several surname styles: patronymics ending -sson or -dottir, the-epithets like the Fearless, hyphenated epithets like Geode-Mage, and single compound words like Merkiller. Each pattern picks one, so the family slot varies by draw.

What do the -sson and -dottir endings mean?

They are patronymic endings attached to a name root (Sohrald + sson, Tarbarik + sdottir). Structurally it is the ending bank completing the patronymic shape; they read as "son of" and "daughter of" in the Norse style.

About male nord names

How male nord names are built

Nord names pair a given name with one of several surname styles. Male given names splice two fragments from huge banks (945 and 536 entries); female given names splice their own fragment pair. Surnames come in several flavors: a patronymic built from a name root plus an ending like -sson or -dottir (Sohraldsson, Tarbariksdottir), a the-epithet (the Fearless, the Raven), a hyphenated epithet (Wolf-Strider, Geode-Mage), or a single compound word (Merkiller). The texture is Norse: hard onsets, patronymics, and earthy epithets.

Mathimir Jargehrssen
Mathi (given-name head) + mir (given-name tail) + Jargehr (patronymic root) + ssen (patronymic ending)
given name plus patronymic
Furasla Wolf-Strider
Fura (given-name head) + sla (given-name tail) + Wolf (epithet first half) + -Strider (epithet second half)
given name plus hyphenated descriptive epithet
Algeki Merkiller
Alge (given-name head) + ki (given-name tail) + Merkiller (compound surname)
given name plus single-word compound surname

Naming notes

Fan-made in the style of the Nord bank, not official, evoking Skyrim's Nordic register. The surname styles let you tune tone: -sson and -dottir patronymics (Sohraldsson, Tarbariksdottir) read traditional and clan-bound, the-epithets (the Fearless, the Nightingale) and hyphenated epithets (Wolf-Strider, Geode-Mage) read rough and earned, and single compounds (Merkiller) read like inherited family names. Mix them across a cast for a believable hold. The given banks are deep, so given names rarely repeat; vary the surname style rather than the given name to signal a character's background.
