100 Vulcan Names To Inspire You

(Choose a vulcan name from 'Star Trek' for your character.)
Vulcans are a fictional species of extraterrestrial humanoids featured in the iconic franchise 'Star Trek'.
Vulcan names appear pretty bold to us humans and, for good reason, these humanoids are way more advanced than human beings and have greater intelligence. If you are looking for character names, perhaps one of these Vulcan names might do the job!
Vulcans are portrayed as a highly intelligent species. They can even do telepathy!
They are known for their brilliant use of logic and not letting emotions hinder their thought process, take Spock for example. In other words, they’re a non-emotional species who rely solely on intelligence. Thus they’re actually very far ahead of humans in terms of progress and development.
As you would see in an image of one of the most famous Vulcans of them all, Spock, Vulcans are characterized by pointy ears and pronounced eyebrows which give them a peculiar look. This look and their sometimes difficult to pronounce names are an attempt to deliberately make them stand out from human beings.
The original Vulcan language is Golic Vulcan, so many Vulcan names come from this language. Typically, female Vulcan names begin with the letter ‘T’ , followed by an apostrophe and then the letter ‘p’.
Male Vulcan names are equally cryptic as the female names. Robert H Justman, sent out a memo in 1966 which suggested that all Vulcan male names start with ‘Sp’ and end with ‘K’.
He was the producer of the series the original series of 'Star Trek'. This memo was intended as a joke at first but it just might explain to us the origin of the name of the most famous Vulcan, Spock.
However, the mystery of Vulcan names is one that is far from solved. In one episode of the original series, Spock was asked if he had an alternative name.
To this, he replied, “You wouldn’t be able to pronounce it”. This suggests that Spock might have another name. Thus, perhaps Vulcans do have multiple names but tend to use only one.
Or it could be that Spock might be referring to his first name, as his full name is S’chn T’gai Spock. Whatever the answer is, it is undeniable that Spock is a cool name for any character!
The formal restrictions imposed by the 'Star Trek' movie franchise and the memo by Justman on the creation of Vulcan names no longer make sense for a fictional universe. A fictional universe is ever-growing and having restrictions placed on its components is antithetical to its very idea.
Therefore, today, Vulcan names are diverse and are not hindered by these former restrictions.
Most of the names featured in this list, unless mentioned otherwise, are gender-fluid and not restricted by their limitations. For more fantasy world names, take a look at these 'Star Trek' baby names and these 'Star Wars' girl names.
