NamerynApp Name Generator
Short, one-word app names that fit under an icon on a home screen: nine letters or fewer, easy to say, easy to search for. Press Check .com or Check .ai to read the public registry for the matching domain, and look each name up on Google Play before you fall for it. Free, no account, everything runs in your browser.
Tick a name to check its .com — up to 5 at once. Nothing is looked up until you press the button.
⭐ Saved favorites stay in your browser — find them all in the Idea Library.
About the buttons next to results: one marked “affiliate”, such as Register a .com, is an affiliate link, so Nameryn may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Make a logo is a plain link today. Register a .com appears after a .com check finds no registration, Register a .ai after a .ai check does, and Make a logo after either or a save; none of them changes which names you get. A .com or .ai check reads the public registry once: it is not a guarantee, a store search or a trademark search.

What makes a good app name
An app name lives in three small places: the label under the icon, the search box in a store and a friend's message saying "get this". It has to fit the first, be findable in the second and survive being said out loud in the third. That is why this generator keeps to one word and nine letters, and why coined names with hard-to-say letter runs are thrown out.
- Fits under the icon. Phones shorten a label that does not fit. Nine letters or fewer usually shows in full.
- Says what it sounds like. If you have to spell it twice on a call, people will search for the wrong thing.
- Ownable in search. A plain dictionary word competes with every page about that word; a light coinage, a blend or a familiar word with a twist is easier to find.
- Not someone else's. A store listing does not give you the name; a trademark does. Search both stores and a trademark register before you design around a name.

How the app name engine works
Every batch blends two sources. About half come from a hand-read bank of app-ready words (Hearth, Mosaic, Kismet, Lumora), each one nine letters or fewer, with the best-known app and brand names taken out. Many are real words, so another app may already use one; the Google Play link on each name is there for that. The rest are coined two ways: a short root with an app ending, -ly or -ify (Kudoly, Bloomify, Larkify), and a short coined prefix joined to a familiar app noun (LumaLoop, KaiHive, OriNest). The Feel control steers the plain words and the -ly and -ify roots.
A per-batch balancer keeps any one method from taking over a batch, a freshness filter keeps recent names from coming straight back, and every coined name passes the same safety and known-brand screens as Nameryn's business names, plus a check for letter runs that are hard to say.
App names — frequently asked questions
How long should an app name be?
Short enough to show in full under the icon. Phones shorten a label that does not fit, often after about a dozen characters, so every name here is one word of nine letters or fewer. The store listing name can be longer (Apple allows 30 characters), which leaves room for a short descriptor after the name.
How do I check if an app name is taken?
Search the exact name in the App Store and on Google Play, check the .com, and run a trademark search in the countries you will launch in. Each result here has a Google Play link and a .com check; the App Store has no public web search, so search it on your phone.
Do I need the .com for my app name?
No, but it helps. Many apps add get or app to the name (getname.com, nameapp.com) or use a .app domain. An exact .com is still the strongest signal that a name is distinctive, which is why the check is one press away; the .ai check beside it covers the other domain AI apps often use.
Can I use a generated name for my app?
Yes, the names are free to use. Coined names are screened against a list of known brands, but a real word or a new coinage can still be another app's name, so search both stores and a trademark register before you publish.
Are the names saved anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Names you favorite are stored locally on this device only, and a check or a next-step button sends a name out only when you press it.

Preliminary availability evidence: The optional .com
lookup reports only whether the exact domain had a public registry record at the
displayed time. “No registration found” is not a registration guarantee, an app store
search, a trademark search, a social-handle check or legal clearance. Search both app
stores and a trademark register before you publish under a name.
