Star Trek baby names from the 7 different TV series

To boldly name… who no one has named before?

Call us dorks, sci-fi geeks, Trekkies or whatever you want — we are Star Trek fans, and proud of it.

Proud enough, in fact, to put together this list of more than 70 different Star Trek baby names, inspired by the five different series: the original, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise .

We also can’t forget to honor the creator of the Star Trek universe: you could always name your kid after Eugene “ Gene” Wesley Roddenberry.

Want something completely alien? Got that. Something traditional from Earth? Have some of those, too. We also have a few that are interesting but don’t scream, “My mom took me to Comic Con when I was a month old.”

Star Trek baby names: Engage!

Below, you can check out names we hand-culled from from TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT — mostly based on characters, but you’ll see a few other things (such as actors’ names and some alien species) in the mix.

Baby names inspired by Star Trek (the original series)

So, you’re enough of a geek that you love Star Trek so much that you’d consider naming your child after someone or something from the show. Awesome.

I’ll spare you casually listing off the first name of every character with a “normal” name, because it’s not like no one has thought of naming their kid James before — but James Tiberius (or just Tiberius, for that matter) is far more interesting, and will absolutely get your point across.

Baby James Tiberius Kirk, in fact, is pictured below — as seen in JJ Abrams’ 2009 Star Trek movie , with his mother Winona Kirk.

Infinite diversity in infinite names

For the more adventurous, you could consider the gamut of Vulcan names such as Spock, Sarek, T’Pau (where do you think the “ Heart and Soul” band got the name, hmm?), or T’Pol.

I suppose if you’re a fan of the Klingons, you could go that route as well — but personally, I don’t think I’d name my son or daughter anything that sounds like my cat being sick on the living room floor.

Interplanetary Star Trek baby names

There is nothing restricting you to using just character names. You can go with Vulcan (also, of course, the Roman god of the forge), or perhaps Andor or Andoria, if you’re a fan of the blue guys with the funny antennae.

Truly, one can run wild with a Star Trek-themed name, as there are over 35 years’ worth of work to choose one from.

As such, this can only be an extremely partial list, intended to get your creative naming juices flowing. In no time you’ll have that perfectly geeky name for your little one.

Names from Star Trek: The Next Generation

If you want to make it so, Jean-Luc is a nice choice, and will stand out without being blindingly obvious that mom and dad are complete nerds.

If you’re slightly more daring, why not try using a last name instead? Picard or Riker would certainly make for good, interesting boy names.

There’s a limit to what works here, however. For example, you may wish to avoid naming your son Crusher , unless you plan on him becoming a professional wrestler.

And unless you want to give your child a life of computer record hassles — meaning everything from his driver’s license to his direct-deposit — there’s one more name we definitely can’t recommend: Data.

Baby names inspired by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Baby names inspired by Star Trek: Voyager

Baby names inspired by Star Trek: Enterprise

Star Trek: Discovery

First off, the coolest/strangest one: Saru, for the Kelpien Starfleet officer played by Doug Jones.

You could also consider the old Welsh name Rhys for Lt. Gen Rhys , and Bryce for Lt. R.A. Bryce — plus the names Ash, Tyler , Keyla , Philippa and Georgiou. Also consider for a girl Sonequa, for Sonequa Martin-Green, who plays Michael Burnham.

Star Trek: Picard

In this 2020 TV series, the multi-talented Isa Briones plays sisters Soji and Dahj — both unique and beautiful names. (Isa is short for Isabella .)

Other possible baby names from this Star Trek series (not counting the ones we covered above for Next Generation ) Jurati, Raffi , Cristóbal and Rios, Narek, Elnor, and Narissa.

Star Trek Names

But what if you want to go deeper into space, or perhaps “go boldly where no man has gone before?” Step aboard the Starship Enterprise to choose a meaningful and pop-culturally relevant Star Trek-inspired baby name for the Next Generation.

Lest you fear we’re only going to suggest the obvious cast from season one like Spock (a twofer homage to Star Trek, The Original Series and the famed baby doctor) or Kirk (though we do like the name McCoy, after Dr. “Bones” McCoy in TOS, for boys and girls) – worry not. These Star Trek-inspired baby names are cultivated from the cast rosters of all its incarnations, from the original series that debuted in 1966 to the most recent version now available online, Picard.

Each of these names works on its own without even knowing any Star Trek references, but it’s a little sweeter for a nerd if you do. So, when someone admires your child, saying “Oh, Jet? Like the Lt. Commander on Star Trek: Discovery played by Tig Notaro?” – you’ll know by association that you’ve found your tribe.

Here are some of the most “down-to-earth” Star Trek-inspired baby names (or pet names):

Ayala  — A provisional lieutenant aboard Voyager (seasons 1 – 7) and the surname of a California senator and his namesake school, it’s a fluid name that rolls easily.

Bryce  – Surname of the Discovery communications officer (season 1-3) and junior lieutenant. Also a given first name and name of several spots in the American west.

Dax  –  A xenomorphic character in the fictional Star Trek universe, the Dax life form is a Trill that lives inside humanoid hosts like Jadzia and Ezri in Deep Space Nine .

Grace  – Actor Grace Lee Whitney was known for her TOS role as Janet Rand and returned for subsequent Star Trek films. From the Latin, Gratia.

Ishka  – From Deep Space Nine season 3 and 5-7, Ishka is a philanthropic female Ferengi who is the mother of bar-owner Quark and his little brother Rom.

Kimara  – Portrayed by Adrienne Barbeau (Rizzo in Grease ) Kimara Cretak is the name of a Romulan representative on season 7 of Deep Space 9 .

Kira  – The surname comes first for Deep Space Nine character Kira Nerys and her kin, as is Bajoran custom. Possibly derived from Hindi/Sanskrit Kiran, ‘giver of light.’

Kirk  – A Scottish and Northern English word meaning “church,” or more specifically the Church of Scotland. Surname of the original Enterprise captain, James T. Kirk.

Maxwell  – A vice admiral on Starfleet Command, the human character Maxwell Forrest appeared on Star Trek: Enterprise (seasons 1-4).

Leeta  – A Dabo girl for the betting game and Deep Space Nine resident who later married Rom, this Bajoran name sounds the same as that of female wrestler, Lita.

Leland  – Or “Lee.” Star Trek: Discovery (season 2) — a commanding officer in Section 31. Originally the name is Old English for “lives by unseeded land.”

Linus  – A science officer on Discovery and the son of Apollo in Greek mythology, it’s a respectable name that would do well to emerge from the shadow of Peanuts .

Mila  – A Cardassian housekeeper in seasons 3 and 7 of Deep Space 9 , Mila is also a female Slavic name from Eastern Europe meaning “gracious” or “dear.”

Miri  – Diminutive of the name Miriam, recorded in Biblical Hebrew, and the name of the eighth episode in TOS and its teenage title character played by Kim Darby.

Nilsson  – The name of a female officer in seasons 2 and 3 of Discovery , we also like the name for boys as an homage to American songwriting great Harry Nilsson.

O’Brien  – Miles and Molly O’Brien are a human couple on Deep Space Nine and aboard the Enterprise. He is the only major character who is Irish, from Ireland.

Owen  – Owen Paris is a cast member on the Pathfinder Project in Star Trek: Voyager . It’s Welsh, dating back to the reign of Henry VIII, meaning “noble-born.”

Jet  – Jet Reno is Lt. Commander on Discovery , played by stand-up comic and actor Tig Notaro. Can be masculine or feminine, it’s common in Dutch-speaking countries.

Cristobal  – Cristobal ‘Chris’ Rios is a character on Star Trek: Picard who, at first, is reluctant to help the hero of this new series debuting this month on CBS All Access.

Sela  – A mixed-race Romulan commander in the Romulan Empire, Sela appears in seasons 4 and 5 of Star Trek: The Next Generation .

Seska  – A Cardassian who appears in Star Trek: Voyager , Seska was genetically altered to appear Bajoran in order to steal Maquis secrets. Pretty name, though.

Sisko  – The mostly-human extended family group built around Benjamin Sisko in Deep Space Nine . Also spelled “Sisco” as a distinguished Spanish surname.

Tiberius  – It’s what the “T” in James T. Kirk stands for. A Latin name used throughout Roman history. Feminine form is Tiberia, for both, shorten to Ti.

Tora  – Artist Tora Ziyal is a Bajoran/Carsassian resident of Deep Space Nine . The word means “tiger” in Japanese.

Una  – Also known as Number One on Star Trek: Discovery , Una was a first officer on the USS Enterprise . Of Latin origin, popular in Ireland, means “one” or “lamb.”

Winn  – A Bajoran religious leader on Deep Space Nine, it’s not just half the name of a grocery store chain (Winn Dixie). Nice, preppie sound to it and goes with anything.

When you’re trying on these tried-and-true handles, consider the trajectory of Star Trek: what began as a small weekly television show in 1966 has evolved into one of the greatest entertainment franchises of all time, weaving its way into the fabric of our existence with socially progressive and scientifically brilliant projections of life in the faraway future. That’s an inspirational legacy for anyone.

So, if you’ve been beamed up by these Star Trek-related names for your little Enterprise, but find yourself on the final frontier without a clear choice on the horizon – consider the name of the man who created it all: Eugene Wesley Rodenberry, who went simply by “Gene.” Here’s the full list of Star Trek characters to date on Wikipedia.

Kellie Flanagan is a writer and producer for print, broadcast and web, with credits in all media including short and long-form documentary. As a child actor Kellie played Candace on The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, The Andy Griffith Show, and the original Star Trek in the episode Miri.

It’s easy to love and easier still to integrate it into every fiber of your personality after finding your favorite shows, books, and art. Through witnessing characters’ clever minds and their typically slow-warming hearts through various adventures, you’re able to live vicariously in situations you could never even dream of. If baby’s future will consist of many a sci-fi binge session, then a science fiction baby girl, boy, or gender-neutral name will set them up for the ultimate adventure, otherworldly or otherwise.

Shahna, Philana, Kelinda: More “Star Trek” baby names

We’ve already looked at Uhura , and Jeanluc …so are you ready for the next three Star Trek baby names?

Today we’ve got Shahna, Kelinda, and Philana — each of which came from single episodes of the original TV series, which ran from 1966 to 1969.

The baby name Shahna debuted in 1968:

• 1972: unlisted
• 1971: unlisted
• 1970: unlisted
• 1969: 9 baby girls named Shahna
• 1968: 15 baby girls named Shahna [debut]
• 1967: unlisted

The character Shahna (played by Angelique Pettyjohn) was in the season 2 episode “The Gamesters of Triskelion,” which first aired on January 5, 1968. The setting of the episode was the planet Triskelion, where the rulers — disembodied entities called the “Providers” — forced their captives to fight against one another, gladiator-style, for their own entertainment.

The baby name Kelinda debuted in 1968:

• 1969: unlisted
• 1968: 7 baby girls named Kelinda [debut]

The character Kelinda (played by Barbara Bouchet) was in the season 2 episode “By Any Other Name,” which first aired on February 23, 1968. The episode starts with the U.S.S. Enterprise responding to fake distress call from a small planet on which encounter a strand group of Kelvans, who plan to hijack their ship in order to find planets to colonize.

The baby name Philana debuted in 1969:

• 1972: 12 baby girls named Philana
• 1971: 20 baby girls named Philana
• 1970: 19 baby girls named Philana
• 1969: 10 baby girls named Philana [debut]
• 1968: unlisted

The character Philana (played by Barbara Babcock) was in the season 3 episode “Plato’s Stepchildren,” which first aired on November 22, 1968. The setting of the episode was the planet Platonius, where they encounter the sadistic leader of a psychokinetic society modeled after ancient Greece. (This also happens to be the infamous “interracial kiss” episode.)

No doubt Philana’s name was based on the ancient Greek word philos , meaning “friend” or “lover.”

So, which of these three single-episode Star Trek names do you like more: Shahna, Kelinda, or Philana?

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.
