Wayang names - Pathfinder
This name generator will give you 10 random names fit for the wayang part of the Pathfinder universe.
Wayang are short, humanoid creatures with skins ranging from pale white to darker blacks and are covered in shifting shadows that protect them against the harsh sunlight they're not normally exposed to. They further adorn their skins with paint in patterns others sometimes confuse for tattoos or even scarification.
Wayang live in smaller communities within which they usually work together, often focusing on expressing themselves through art they might share or trade with other communities. But there are also those who prefer a life of solitude for a variety of reasons, and some of them become important gurus to which Wayang leaders might look for advice.
Wayang names are a mixture of Indonesian, Malaysian, and Sanskrit. Though many do follow a three name system similar to some ethnic groups in Indonesia. It is not stated what each name represents to the Wayang, but in real life the second and third name can range from simply a chosen (nick)name, a parental name, a place name, or even a name indicating the order of your birth (firstborn, etc.). All elements you could consider for your Wayang character as well.
Examples given in the Pathfinder source books include: Adik Musang, Hakim Gunung Api, Putri Rubah Hebat, and Raja Ribut Hitam.
