70+ Romulan Names From The Extended Star Trek Universe And Ideas For New Names
Gallery
The Romulans are a group of humanoids in Star Trek, living on the planet Romulus.
Even though they are closely related to the Vulcans, Vulcans and Romulans have some differences in them. Romulans are more xenophobic while Vulcans have been known to accept and maintain peace with other groups in the universe.
Now, coming to names, Romulans have a pretty easy naming system with the given name followed by their locative and family's clan name. Sometimes, the surnames change into maternal house names and the house names of their wives for the males as only males in the family change their surnames after marriage.
Interestingly, the Romulan ale, an alcoholic drink is banned within the Federation due to perhaps the turbulent relationship between Romulans and the rest of the Federation.
Anyway, without much ado, let's take a look at some of the best names from the Romulan culture! If you enjoyed this article, why not read about 70+ Star Trek baby names that Trekkies will love or the top 25 strongest female Jedi names?
