## Description

Name Generator is a Chrome extension that lets you generate random names from 41 origins with one tap. Pick an origin, and optionally a gender (male or female), and you'll get authentic first and last names in a clean, intuitive interface.

With over 4 million possible name combinations across 41 origins (including African, Arabic, Chinese, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Welsh, and more), this tool is perfect for writers, journalists, and developers seeking diverse names. The extension continually adds new origins, and you can provide feedback or feature requests. If you're also after nicknames, check out the Nickname Generator App on the Play Store.
