How these names are made
The generator pairs words that suit the trade with words from South Africa’s languages and everyday speech, then filters out anything awkward to say or spell. Local-language words come from published dictionaries and show their source.
In the generator you can choose a style, pick the languages your customers speak, set a maximum length, and give each name a logo to download.
