Allowed Prefixes and Suffixes

[j a m m e s]

The cats of the Clans all have their own special name which usually has its own special meaning, from something simple such as the colour of their pelt, or something more meaningful such as being named after another cat. Even though their names usually have unique meanings, the general format of the names of the cats is the same. Each name has both a prefix and a suffix which together make up their name. This thread will only list prefixes and suffixes used in the books. There are many other names that could be used, and likely will be used in future books, but this pages simply lists names that have been used previously in the books.

Once an Apprentice becomes a Warrior, or a full Medicine Cat, they are given their new Warrior or Medicine Cat name. Unlike the other ranks in the Clan, these names do not have a generic suffix, but rather get a new suffix chosen by either the Clan Leader if a Warrior, or their mentor if a Medicine Cat. Similar to the prefixes, the suffix may have some meaning to it, such as if a cat has shown bravery, a common example would be to give them the suffix 'heart'. However in most cases the chosen suffix will be somewhat random and chosen to match the prefix they were given at birth, Below is a list of suffixes that have been used in the Warrior Cats series.
