Terms of Use
Last updated: on launch — review before going live.
Surname Generatoris provided free of charge, "as is", for general use. By using the site you agree to these terms.
Use of generated names
The origin-specific generators sample from real surnames; the fantasy / sci-fi / D&D generators produce invented names. You may use generated names freely — for fiction, games, art, placeholder content and test data. You are responsible for how you use them: do not use a generated name to impersonate, defame or harass a real person, and remember that any surname may coincide with that of a living individual.
No warranty
We make no guarantees that the site is accurate, complete or available at all times. The etymologies and cultural notes are simplified summaries from standard references and may omit nuance. We are not liable for any loss arising from use of the site.
Third-party content
The site shows third-party advertising and may contain affiliate links. We are not responsible for the content, products or practices of third-party sites.
Changes
We may update these terms; continued use means you accept the current version.
