Warrior Cat Names – 2 Simple Steps for an Awesome Name
by Kyle Larson
Looking to create your own unique Warrior cat name? Here’s a quick, easy tutorial to get started!
Warriors is a series of fantasy novels that follow the adventures of four Clans of wild cats. The cats in these books come from different Clans each with their own territories and skills. Warrior cat names follow specific patterns that you can use to come up with a name for your own cat.
Starting Your Warrior Cat Name
Warrior Cat names have two parts to a name that are joined together. First you’ll need a prefix to use for your cat. Prefixes are often:
- Something about their appearance: White, Tiny, Tiger, Spotted, Dark, Raven, Yellow
- Something related to nature: Willow, Rose, Flame, Storm, Lightning, Ivy, Lion
Completing Warrior Cat Names
Next you’ll need to pick a suffix to complete your Warrior Cat name. These are usually something that matches what you chose for the first part of your name. For example if you chose ‘Tiger’ the last part might be ‘claw’ or ‘tail’. There are also a few suffixes that have meanings you can use: star is for a leader, kit is for a young cat, and paw is an apprentice.
Alternatively, cats without a Clan just stick to the first part of their name, which is also a great way to name your cat. For example:
- Bella
- Birdy
- Cody
- Cora
- Flora
- Flower
- Nutmeg
- Pixie
- Ruby
- Socks
- Violet
Note: Warrior Cat names should never include the following: spirit, shadow, thunder, river, wind, and moon as they are reserved as sacred.
Some Warrior Cat Names Examples
Here are a few examples from the books and made up that might help you get going with creating a name:
- Tigerstar
- Cinderpelt
- Stormcloud
- Dewpetal
- Redtail
- Firepaw
- Sunnytail
- Nightstar
- Bluestar
- Graystripe
- Tigerheart
- Redstar
- Hawkheart
- Honeypaw
- Snowdrop

Hiii
I love this so much! The only thing is for suffixes you should add pool and moon
Kyle Larson
Thanks!
Delia
Mine is hazel eye
vampirewitch100
What about Magpie?
Brooky
Awesome!
The only thing that I think is missing for prefixes is Night.
Musical Trash
Amazing I came up with WillowWing, BrightDawn, CinderDusk, BreezeBranch, FeatherFern, EchoJay, BlossomBlaze, and CloudEar
Skittles
Moon cant be a suffix
Kyle Larson
Thanks! Fixed that.
Spottedmask
Actually, “moon” can be both a prefix and a suffix. In the books, there is a cat called “Moonflower”, and also one called “Ambermoon.”
Larkspurblaze
This is a great list of names! (Just one suggestion: I know this isn’t very common in the books bit maybe more unheard-of suffixes, like astilbe, or maybe anemone.)
Willowheart
Also feather can be a prefix and suffix. In the books, there is a cat called “Crowfeather”, and also there is “Feathertail”.

I love this so much! I was going to write my own series for warriors but had to make up a ton of cats names, it was really hard until I found this. Now I just look at prefixes and suffixes and match them up and make names. Now I have done all four clans, Starclan, the dark forest, and place of no stars! Thanks for making this so much easier, I appreciate it
Paledust
Redraven or Flamefern?
Brambleleaf
I love this and thanks for the ideas!
Mousestar❤
This is so helpful since I’m writing my own Warrior cat series, thank you
Mousestar❤
Btw, Fox can be a prefix
Annbot
I came up with Poppysong
Moonfur
I think moon can be a suffix cause my Warrior cat OC is Moonfur and there is a cat called Moonflower
Dawnstar
This is so helpful because me and my friend are writing our own Warriors series and we needed some new names
Warriorcatfan
I’m writing my own series, though i feel mean bc it feels like I’m copying so many things even though I’m not, and I love the names I came up with Branchpelt, Honeywish, lionsun, silverwish, and a lot more, thank you sooo much
Moonstar
I love this!! I’m writing my own Warriors series (Next Gen) and it helps come up with names. the only thing, is I have Shadowfall, Thunderheart, Windfire, and Rivertail, in respect for the original leaders!! I get the sacred thing, but it makes it really hard to come up with names without using those four Prefixes/suffixes. I ended up having a Lionheart, and Sandstorm in respect for the OG’s.
Moonstar
WarrIorcatfan, I get you, I’m writing my own series and I feel like i’m copying sooooo much!! It’s turned out really well though!!
Silkypelt
I do warriors fanfic, and it hurts so much! I feel like I’m reusing names and copying the books, but this helped me a bunch!
Silkypelt
FYI wish can be a prefix, as one of Yellowfang’s kits was named Wishkit…She was stillborn, though… :(
Der Schein trügt.
I made Cherrysong, Cloudstone, Moonfrost, Swiftflame
Shadow Withered Bonnie
Dapple is a Prefix! Dappletail! Brindleface, Longtail, Dustpelt, Flower could be a Prefix and Suffix, Russetfur, Sagewhisker, Goosefeather! Forgetting many names…old add them in!
Goldenjaw
You are so right, Shadow Withered Bonnie. So many names are missing (P.S. I love FNAF lol)!
Willow
This is missing sooo much! Please try to work on more names!
(Oh hey Goldenjaw)
