Tribes are similar to gaming clans or guilds in that they allow you to form a group with other players and work toward a common goal together.[1]
As the saying goes, there’s strength in numbers, and that’s undoubtedly true for gaming tribes — but it isn’t the only benefit.
Depending on the game you’re playing, there may be perks specifically created for tribes, such as bonus XP on farming and other activities in ARK.[2]
When playing a game with tribes like ARK, you’ll want to create an exciting name — maybe something funny or one that reflects your playing style.
Below, we share our tribe name ideas to get you started. We also have a tribe name generator and tips for creating your own tribe name.

How to Create a Cool Tribe Name
It can be challenging to find the perfect name; there are unlimited options and inspirations, and you’ll want your name to reflect your personality.
Consider the following when creating your tribe’s identity:
- Decide what style you want your name to be. Before you begin brainstorming or creating a list of names, decide what you want your name to portray. Will it sound tough? Will it make people laugh? Set some parameters so you can easily shape and narrow down your options.
- Make sure the name is inclusive. Tribes are all about players working together for a common purpose, so your name should reflect that the group involves multiple people. Use plural words, like in our example “Hunters & Gatherers.”
- Get inspiration from other things you love. Playing your favorite games can consume most of your time, but you probably have at least some interests outside of the game you’re playing! Use a title or lyric from a favorite song, group, or organization from a favorite book or another source of inspiration for your tribe name.
