FAQ
What does each line contain?
Every line is a single surname token. There are no first names, prefixes, or particles added automatically.
How does uniqueness work inside one batch?
The tool samples without replacement until your requested count uses every unused entry it can from the bundled surname list, so duplicates only appear when the list cannot cover the full batch.
When is surname-only generation the right choice?
Use it when you already have first names, need bulk NPC family labels, want fake directory rows, or are pairing with another tool that supplies given names.
How many surnames can I request?
Up to 100 per run, bounded by how many unique entries exist in the shipped surname data.
Does this respect regional spelling traditions?
Lists are blended for general brainstorming. If you need a specific culture or era, edit results manually or curate your own list.
