About Mass Effect Naming

Mass Effect gives each species a naming system rather than just a sound. Turians use a clipped three-part military form. Quarians attach nar and vas to name the ship they were born on and the ship they serve on — a name that literally records a life story.

Krogan names are blunt and clan-bound. Asari are single flowing names, because a thousand-year lifespan makes surnames pointless. Salarians run long and formal, reflecting a species that talks fast and dies young.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do quarian names work?▼
A given name, then nar and the ship they were born on, later replaced by vas and the ship they serve. The name records where someone comes from and where they ended up.
Why do asari have one name?▼
Asari live around a thousand years, so a family name spanning generations means very little. A single chosen name is the convention throughout the species.
What makes turian names distinctive?▼
A clipped, formal three-part structure reflecting a culture organised around military service, where rank and unit matter more than family.
Is there a name length limit in Mass Effect?▼
The games are single-player with a generous name field, so there is nothing to work around. These suit original characters and fan fiction.
