Yes! You can spell names like you normally would, but for names that contain the letter c you need to use k or s instead. For example, "Carl" should be spelled like "Karl", "Michael" should be spelled like "Mikael", and "Grace" should be spelled like "Grase". Any names I can help you with? |

"Peter" would have no problems being transliterated in Dovahzul. It would be pronounced along the lines of "petter". |

There is some kind of Dragon name for people, can we say their names by their meaning? |

That's another way to look at it. "Peter" comes from "rock" or "stone", so I suppose you could call someone named Peter "Gol" or "Golz" in Dovahzul. It's not something I'd recommend though since those words mean actual things. If you said "zu'u lahney voth Golz" to mean "I live with Peter", it would be interpreted as "I live with a stone". |

Put Reziik on the translator, you will see! |

Ah! I can see why that would be confusing. "Reziik" comes from the word "Rez", meaning "pet" (like a dog or a cat, or "to pet" something). The translator thinks you're trying to say "petter", or "someone who pets", so it's adding the suffix "-iik" (like English's "-er") to "pet". The name "Peter" has no relation to "pet" or "petter", so "Reziik" wouldn't be a good way to represent "Peter" in Dovahzul. |

I translated my name even before I went to this website. My real name ment "Swamp Child" in Irish-Celtic, so I translated it through DOV4ZUL and I ended up with STYORNGOLK3R |

what about a name that means princess as my real name is sarah? |

For the same reasons you might not want to use "Gol" to say "Peter", it might be best not to use "Kulaas" for "Sarah". It would be difficult for anyone to you know that you want "Kulaas" to mean "Sarah" rather than "princess". A good alternative might be to come up with a dragon name (3 words of usually one syllable) that could represent the meaning of your name. For example maybe you can use something like "Golmulaak", "earth-strong-guide" for "Peter", or "Kulaasbrii", "princess-beauty" for "Sarah". |

well you could just cut out lost. Rahvaraan actually already implies "god healed" and for me it sounds well enough. You could also search for different kinds of healing like god made whole or god build or god undo pain / wound etc. RahVoAhraan.
or you dont take your real life name and use a Nickname you like and translate that, thats what i do ^^ |

I now know that, translated, "Ethan" is "Iithin." What would be a dragon name for "Iithin?" The one I found by translating my name is constancy, firm, strong. I had to change constancy to constant, because constancy isn't a dovahzul word. Anyone have an idea to fix this? I need a 3 syllable name in dragon, meaning "Ethan." The one I got from translating was BESTAND3 R1LIK MUL. |
