Picking your Na'vi name might seem like a daunting task, but there are a few tips that can guide you in the right direction.


How to Pick Your Name

One of the most obvious ways to find a Na'vi name is to look in the English to Na'vi Dictionary and find a few words that interest you. These words can then be put together to mean something. An example of this is ikran makto (banshee rider).

Another way to find a Na'vi name is to to find the etymology of your name, or a word or phrase that you like, and translate it into Na'vi.

A third way of thinking of a Na'vi name is to think about what is unique about you and translating it to Na'vi. Everybody has a Na'vi name, so choosing something unique about yourself gives you a more unique name, and a name that will be less likely for someone else to already have.


Is my Name Grammatically Correct?

A problem that many beginners have is that they want to make their Na'vi name before they learn the grammar of the language. To make sure that your name is grammatically correct, here are a few basic pointers. When using adjectives in Na'vi, you must put an a on the side of the adjective that the noun it modifies is on, for example: Tsawla Uniltìranyu OR Uniltìranyu Atsawl (tall dreamwalker). A detailed account of Na'vi grammer is available in the Na'vi Pocket Guide.
