What are Merman Names?

A merman — the male counterpart to the mermaid — is a mythical creature that has the body and face of a man and, instead of legs, the tail of a fish. Mermen appear in myths from around the world and in popular culture through books, movies, and stories. Depending on the story, a merman can be depicted as either unpleasant to look at or handsome. One of the more famous merman myths — the myth of Triton — comes from Greece.

A name that suits a merman will convey the energy of the ocean, as well as strength, will, and confidence. Depending on the qualities of the merman, his name might communicate his qualities of being handsome, powerful, or wretched.
